Some very special writings from the 3^rd Grade:

 

The Pencil

 

By, Joshua Coyle & Ethan Gould (In the style of Shel Silverstein)

 

One day a pencil was writing the word PENCIL,

And SNAP

The lead is gone.

What use is it anymore?

 

A Chinchilla Stole My Sandwich!

 

By, Kieran Wevers & Bridget Bunting (In the style of Shel Silverstein)

 

I was eating lunch,

Not brunch,

I sat down

Ready to eat my sandwich.

Got distracted,

Turned my back,

ZAP!

Why does my chinchilla look guilty?
