A PEEP INTO THE CLASSROOM SALMON Salmon is a fish found both in the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific salmon is the more valuable in the United States. The salmon is caught on its way up the river to spawn. Sportsmen catch it with rod and reel, but those who make a living catching salmon catch them in nets. Some are eaten fresh, but most of them are canned and sent inland to all parts of the Country. Leslie Carter Sixth Grade RAIN "We hope it rains" The robins say, Upon a very cloudy day. "For as you know, It is our turn The more it rains, The better worm." Doris Blake Fifth Grade [[image - drawing of a parrot]] POLLY PARROT One day as I was walking down the street my cousin called me and asked me if I would tend to her beans while she went to her next door neighbors to borrow a cup of sugar. I said I would. As soon as I was in the house I headed for the cookie jar and just as I was about to take one I heard a voice. I thought I was alone. I was except for a polly parrot. I was in a playful mood so I started to tease it. I got upon a chair and started to swing the cage back and forth ducking every time it passed my head, but once I forgot to duck and the cage hit me on the back of my head and knocked me off the chair. This struck the catch and opened the cage. The parrot was so mad that he started chasing me. While this was going on my cousin was coming across the back yard carrying the sugar in a cup. She saw smoke coming out of the kitchen window. "My beans," she screamed and dropped the cup of sugar. She ran into the kitchen turned out the gas, then came into the living room to find me hiding behind a chair pleading for the parrot to go away. She soon got the parrot back into the cage and how I wished I could have crawled into one, too. Harvey Anderson Sixth Grade THE ROBIN When I was sitting in the tree A robin came to talk to me. When winter comes he'll fly away But he'll be back some o ther day. Nancy Burton Third Grade FUN IN HOLLAND In the winter people go ice-skating on the canals. Old gentlemen go skating along with pipes in their mouths. They skate to work on the canals in the winter. In the summer Dutch people swim in the canals. When one lady wants to see another she gets into a little boat and rows across the canal The children sail kites. They play hide-and-seek, tag, and hopscotch just as we do in our country. John Lundberg third Grade A GOAST THAT WASN'T Were you ever so frightened that you felt you could no longer breathe? Once when I was sent to a neighboring village on an errand, I was detained for some time. On my way home the big, bright moon crept from behind the horizon. I had been watching it and it seemed to follow me. In the meantime something peculiar attracted by attention. There was something very large at my heels. It moved every time I moved and at the same pace. I ran very fast but it followed at the same rate of speed. I thought it was a ghost. My mother thinking that I might be frightened had come to meet me. I fell into her arms, only to find that the ghost was my shadow. Dorothy Wright Sixth Grade SPRING Spring is coming Birds are here. Pussy Willows bring us cheer. Elizabeth Beard Second Grade While the leaves are turning green, While the wrens are being seen, While the merry brook is flowing, You can't stop the wind from blowing. While the boys are sailing kites, They are happy all the night. If they break them in a fight, They can buy another kite. Billy Eddy Third Grade When Bashful has to say "hello" He'd rather jump a steeple. For he is timid, don't you know, And terrified of people.
