THREE LITTLE FROGS
LIVING IN THE POND
THREE LITTLE FROGS
JUMP OUT OF THE POND

PLUMS, PLUMS SO GOOD
THEY LIVE IN SHADY TREES
THEY GROW SO WE
CAN EAT THEM!

CHICKENS
HOPE THEY LAY
GOOD EGGS
AND HAVE BABIES

By Sami, Age 8

BEES ARE FLYING
THROUGH THE AIR
BZZ BZZING
I HEAR THE BEES

BIG PLUMS FAT
PLUMS ALL OVER
IN TREES
PLUMS HERE, PLUMS THERE

BIG HEN, SMALL HEN
HERE IN THE SHADE
ALL
OVER

By Lucy, Age 7

SILENT FISH SWIMMING
NEAR LILY PADS
DUCK UNDER
RIPPLE, GOES THE WATER

BERRIES IN SUN
GLISTENING BRIGHT
SO TEMPTING
SWALLOW THEM DOWN

TALL GROWS TREE
TO SKY
LEAF GROWS
HOW PRETTY IS TREE

CLUCK GOES CHICKENS
DEXTER SNIFFS
CHICKENS RUN
CHICKENS LAY IN SHADE

By Louise, Age 8

MY REFLECTION
IN THE POND
MY HAIR WET
DRIPS IN MY REFLECTION

FROG LEAPS
FISH SWIMS
LILYPAD STIRS
WHILE WIND WHISPERS

RED STRAWBERRY
GREEN STRAWBERRY
WHITE BLOSSOM
YELLOW POLLEN

WHITE BLOSSOM
BEE LANDS
SUCKS NECTAR
POLLEN LANDS ON BEE
BEE POLLINATES

PLUM TREE
CLIMB BRANCHES
PICK PLUMS
JUICY, YUMMY PLUMS

SIT IN BRANCHES
CLIMB TO TOP
GREAT TIMES WITH YOU
PLUM TREE

By Payton, Age 7

STRAWBERRY
GREEN
RED
WATCH THEM GROW

I BITE
INTO STRAWBERRY
JUICE SQUIRTS OUT

I WAS THINKING
ABOUT WHAT TO WRITE
ROOSTER CROWS

By Katelyn, Age 9

ROOSTER CROWING
FROGS LEAPING
EVERYTHING IS STILL

DRAGONFLIES BUZZING
RIPPLES
IN THE POND

CHICKENS CLUCKING
BIRDS CHIRPING
ROOSTER
STRUTS AND CROWS

By Evan, Age 8

BEAUTIFUL SQUASH
COLORS OF SUN
TASTE SO YUMMY

CLUCKING CHICKENS
WALK THE ROOF
FLY OFF

LILLY PADS
WATER RIPPLES
REFLECTION IN THE WATER

By Katie, Age 8

FROP FLOATING
ON TOP OF THE WATER
LILY PADS AROUND

CHICKENS CLUCKING
IN COOL SHADE

By Michael, Age 10

BUG BUZZES
SQUISH!
DEAD BUG IN HANDS

ANTS LIKE SQUASH
ANTS SEES A SQUASH
THE SQUASH IS SQUASHED
GOOD EATS! ANT SAYS

By Colin, Age 10

SMALL LITTLE FROG
BARELY VISIBLE IN WATER
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING
SO PATIENTLY FOR?

LUSH GREEN GRASS
GROWING IN THE WATER
HIDEY HOLE FOR FROGS

BLUE DRAGONFLY FLIES
THROUGH GREEN WEEDS
IN GENTLE BREEZES

COLORFUL HENS
GATHER IN GROUPS
CLUCKING

By Madeline, Age 11

SPLOOCH, SPLOSH FROG LEAPS
MISH MASH CHILD RUNS THROUGH
SPIRAL OF POND SLIME

ROOSTER STRUTS
THINKS HE’S ALL THAT
DASHING FOR FLIES

By Nikki, Age 9

FLUFFY CHICKENS
STRUT!
CLUCK!
PECK!

FROG FLOATS
SO GREEN SO STILL
BUG FLIES
LEAP! ZAP! BUG IS GONE!
