I Love Football

by

Gracelyn Upcott

(age 10) 

Millions of people in the United States consider Autumn to be football season. I love football. I love football because when people watch you, you feel important, you get to push people around, and you have a team that's got your back.

I think football is the best sport because people watch you. It makes you feel important. One time my mom and dad came to watch my game. I was nervous, but when I saw them, it made me feel special and important. When they came to watch me play, we won our game. After the game we went to eat pizza. That made me feel special, too.  

I like football because you can play rough and push other kids around. In school you cannot push. One time at my game I got to push a big kid. My push made it so we could get the ball back to our team. Even though it's a rough game I know now that I can do hard things and win. 

I like football because you have a team that has got your back. My team has my back when I am not feeling confident. My team has my back when I am hurt. They volunteer to fill in for me. My team has my back when I am sad, and they try to cheer me up. Does your team have your back in the sport that you play? In all the things I like about football, I like being on a team best. Now the people on my team are my best friends. 

I love football because you can push yourself to do hard things. I also like running and playing rough doing things like pushing and tackling people. But being part of a team is the best reason why I like football.

"The Ocean's Song" "The Pillow Fight"

The Ocean's Song 

by 

Nathan Wiggin (age 10)

The ocean has a sweet, sweet song,

And the rest of nature sings along,

The song of waves crashing on the rocks,

Water gurgling at the docks,

The people swimming near the shore.

How could you ever wish for more? 

The Pillow Fight

by 

Nathan Wiggin

How about we have a pillow fight

Deep in the middle of the night? 

We hit each other on the heads

From fluffy pillows from our beds. 

With a soft pillow in each hand

We're deep in the world of pillow-fight land.

What state has forests,

Trees, and cliffs?

The mountains far and wide?

Maine's to be

The best state of all,

And fills my heart inside.

The Elf Home

The Elf home 

by

Kenzi Meserve

(age 8) 

BOOM! BOOM! There was a storm in Elf City.

Mom! Mom! Said Elfie. There is thunder.

"It is ok" said Mama Elf. Let's go watch TV it will make you feel better.

When they were watching tv they saw lightning and then it struck a tree and the tree fell on a power line. Then the elf's tv turned off. 

Help Help! said Elfie.

It's ok said Mom Elf It's ok the power just went off. We can do something else like hide and seek in the dark. 

Won't it be hard to find asked Elfie?

It will be fun because you can hide in the dark and nobody will be able to see you.

But who will count said Elfie?

I will count said Mom Elf. Ok - go hide - 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10- ready or not here I come.

Then she started looking for him - she looked behind the couch and behind the tv - she looked under the bed and then out of the darkness Elfie yelled BOOOOOO! 

AHHHHH - Mom Elf screamed - you scared me!

HaHaHa laughed Elfie. 

What should we do next said Mom Elf? We should read a bedtime book.

Let's read my favorite story said Elfie "Goodnight Fox!" 

Ok said Mom Elf.

They read the story and Mom Elf said it is time for bed Elfie.

Ok Mom said Elfie and they both fell asleep happily ever after.

All about Camping

by

Nathan Wiggin

(age 7)

It's fun to go camping. 

I like to go camping in the woods.

I would go fishing, roast marshmellows, 

and sleep.

In the woods, I would probably see frogs,

bears, and snakes. At night, I would hear

crickets, frogs, and nightingales. 

There are so many things you can do!

Today, a ghost came. "Drop, drop," said the water.

Close your eyes to see it. Was it Wall-E? 

"Evaaaaa!" said Wall-E. 

Eva was off today, but why? 

Wall-E was scared today. "Aaaaaaa!" said Wall-E 

Wall-E checked Eva's engine. Wall-E opened Eva's engine. 

He was not scared. He did it! 

"I told ya!" said Wall-E.

Yesterday was a good day.

"Achoo!" said Wall-E.

O no! It's scary today. He's spooky. 

"No, no, it's not scary," said Wall Eye.

"You're not Wall Eye, you're Wall-E!"

"Oops!" 

"Good job, Wall-E" said Eva.
