Fall

I knew fall was coming because…. On Sunday I saw leaves fall from the trees. On Monday I saw apple pie with whipped crème. On Tuesday I saw people picking pumpkins. On Wednesday I saw a fair going by. On Thursday I saw jack-o’-lanterns on the step. On Friday I saw leaves piled up in a pile. On Saturday I saw colorful leaves blowing. I told you fall was coming!

My Food Monster

hair like corn on the cob eyes like cheesy elbow pasta a nose like a cinnamon muffin a mouth like a red apple ears like seedless watermelon a neck like cold chocolate milk in a cup a body shaped like a carton of yogurt arms with 5 ruby red cherries on each side legs like baby carrots and feet with green juicy peas in a row

Thanksgiving Thankful for loving family and friends Happy to harvest pumpkins Apple pie with ice cream Not trying turnips, sweet potatoes, or stuffing Know when you’ve eaten too much Stuffing hot from the turkey Great hot bowls of mashed potatoes with butter Indian corn hung on the front door Very silly people playing UNO together I like playing with my cousins Nice tasty desserts Grandma and papa are coming to visit By Ella

I Like the Colors of Christmas

I like the colors of Christmas, Green is the color of my little tree, Red is Rudolph’s shiny nose, Silver is Santa’s bells on his sleigh, Blue is a bow on my present, White like silky snow, I like the colors of Christmas

A Manatee

The smooth gray manatee ate slimy sea grass behind a big rock when people were swimming by because she didn’t want to be seen.

By Ella Mother by the Numbers

One hour of helping out in my classroom Two loads of laundry Three gardens to grow Four people in the family Five fruits and vegetables a day Six hours of painting the house Seven million hours of loving me Eight minutes to empty the dishwasher Nine cookies to bake Ten million hugs and kisses Then she does it all over again!
