Thanksgiving
The laughing of children,
The tangy taste of turkey,
Family coming together,
The smell of yummy deserts,
Beautiful decorations,
Playing outside in the cool weather,
Staying at home over the break,
Sleeping in,
Mom rushing all around fixing foods,
Giving thanks at Thanksgiving.

The amazing turkey in a plate,

Halo pudding in my stomach,

Awesome dessert in the bowl,

Nothing but turkey and my veggies in my belly,

Klinging on to my turkey leg being taken from me,

Sauce on my turkey.

Gobble giving
The roasting turkey,
Family coming together,
The smell of pumpkin pie in the kitchen,
Children sneaking sweet chocolate desserts,
People traveling to squeeze their grandchildren’s cheeks.
Cake cooking in the oven,
Children playing in the cool outdoors,
Staying home and sleeping in,
Mom rushing to get food ready
Watching TV on a 65 inch flat screen
THANKS GIVING!!!

Food being served on plates

Thanksgiving
By: Christopher H

Thanking God for things we have,
Hunting for wood ducks,
Asking your parents for food,
Near all the good smells,
Klinging silverware,
Smell all the awesome food,
Great turkey being cooked,
Icing on the awesome cake,
Vanishing food on the counter,
In a house with a lot of food,
Never stop eating food,
Gaining a bunch of pounds.

Pieces of pie,
Youth running around,
Thanks,
Us together,
Roast,
Kindness,
Everybody,
Yummy Turkey!

Hunting
Hunting for good food,
Under a tree waiting for a good deer,
Never talking,
Thinking of the nice deer I will kill,
In a deer stand trying to be still,
Never kill a doe!
Getting kicked back by the gun,

Giving Thanks
By Savannah

Great foods
I love thanksgiving
Voices sharing thanks
Identifying the savory smells
No food will be left over
Glasses are empty

Thankfulness
Happy families
Apples sprinkled with cinnamon
No one will leave their plate empty
Kindness
Second helpings for me!

THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving
The smells of the food coming from the turkey,
The plates going down
with the silverware clinking together,
quietness of the prayer
with a little sneak of a bite before the end,
The laughter of the people,
The smiles of the family,
The adults saying,
“Wait don’t eat let’s say thanks.”
The giving thanks for Thanksgiving.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FOODS
Turkey cooking in the hot crock pot,
Homemade pie in the hot oven,
Apples in being cut on a plate,
Napkins on the table,
Kake cooking in the oven,
Smooth cool, whipped cream on a hot slice of pie,

No food will be left on a plate.

THANKSGIVING
The wonderful feeling of waking up on Thanksgiving Morning,
Having loving family over at my house,
Always happy to see the joyful faces,
Never patience for the delicious food,
Keeping my dogs from barking at guest,
Sweet deserts waiting in the kitchen,
Going to have a great time,
Inside the kitchen, my mom is cooking,
Varieties of different foods,
In my room, my guinea pig squeals,
Nutty pumpkin bread in the kitchen,
Going to have the time of my life.

Christmas Break
By Savannah T
Dashing through the mall,
Buying gifts for everyone,
In the lines we stand,
Can’t wait for Christmas fun!
Deciding where to go,
Over Christmas break,
Too many suggestions,
Can’t decide where to go,
Oh Christmas Break, Christmas Break,
Christmas Break is fun!
Let’s celebrate the birth of Christ as we sing our Christmas songs!

THANKS
Thinking of the turkey we have on Thanksgiving Day,
Happy children playing at the table,
A kitchen full of food,
Never not a prayer before we eat,
Kindness fills the room,
Smiles going around.
