Week of January 13

In Gathering this week, the students shared a poem they wrote in the style of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.  Here are some pictures of the students and what they wrote.


'Twas the night of Halloween and all through the house,

There were spookies and spiders that ate a little mouse. 
All the children were filled with Halloween fun,
And couldn't wait for the monsters to come. 
They were so excited for the big party feast,
Because they loved the ghouly monstrous treats.
The big bash had just begun,
And every little monster was having fun.
They danced and danced till the party was done,
The kids love their Halloween fun. 
by A.M.
 


'Twas the day before my B-day
I was sleeping sound asleep
When I heard my doll
Fall in a ball
That lived in a sweet
Beet.
She knew it was my b-day
Then bought some bread
Then she got her meds
And went back to bed.
When it was my b-day
Next morning instead she read.
by L.R.

 



'Twas the day of Easter and all though the house,
All the kids were excited even the mouse.
All the kids found eggs,
Except Meg.
But then Meg
Found the golden egg.
Whoever found the gold,
Was very very bold.
Easter is through,
What do we do?
by G.H.

 

 
'Twas the day before St. Patrick's Day and all through the house,
Every creature had microscopes including the mouse.
All their hopes of finding went up in smoke.
They were so surprised they almost had a choke.
But they did not lose hope.
They even stuck bait on a rope.
Alas they found him the Leprechaun.
He was in the green lawn.
Their parents said to go to bed.
To rest their sleepy heads. 
They went to sleep without delay,
And were happy the next day,
St. Patrick's Day. 

 

 
'Twas the day before tax day and all through the house,
All the parents were stirring even the mouse's;
They were all preparing for tax day,
For it would be the next day.
They were getting their wallets ready to pay,
Whatever taxes came their way.
They were going truly crazy,
And the visions were hazy
That they didn't have to pay next year,
So they could just sit on the couch with some beer.
by A.C.
 

 
 
'Twas the night of the defense and all through the land,
Everyone was in command.
Fog came from the smoggy bog and people were scared.
People heard boats
And floats.
People hid and people ran
And then the floats were on land.
People heard footsteps on sand
And on the land.
Sentinels were on guard,
Kids did not play in their yards.
Finally the bad men ran away.
by D.F.
 

 
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the city,
Something was burning, it was a pity.
Santa's got his head stuck in a jam jar with some of it left,
When someone threw it, he was so deft.
Santa flew to a mountain, so quickly indeed,
He was thrown so high that the reindeer were freed. 
Santa sent all his elves off one by one,
Sending them all until he was done.
Santa was so sad that he lost his sleigh,
And that is the story I tell you today.
by J.T.
 
 

 
'Twas the night after Christmas and all through the house,
Every creature was stirring, playing with the mouse.
The stockings were taken down with care,
And not a scrap of wrapping paper was there.
The parents tried to get the children to bed,
And lay down their heads.
But the children stayed up late
And finished off Santa's plate. 
Finally the parents took charge and turned out the light,
And the mouse said, "Good Night."
by K.M.
 

 
 
'Twas the day before Christmas and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring not even the mouse.
The small little mice lay in their beds
As visions of gingerbread men danced in their heads.
Then outside the hole their was such a clatter.
It was a sleigh made of batter.
St. Nick got out and filled all the stockings and then he got back in and flew out of sight,
"Happy cheese to all and to all a good night."
by S.B.
 
 

 
 
'Twas the night before Easter and all through the house,
The Easter Bunny was putting eggs in her blouse.
The candy was made with very fine care,
In hope that Snickers won't melt in there.
10 hours later the children awoke,
They put on their slippers and went down with their cloaks.
And me with a basket and mom with a hat,
We didn't find any eggs even under the mat.
Even through we wanted to check the blouse,
We didn't, instead we checked the whole house.
Then I went up the stairs, found the eggs in the blouse,
All very safe as a mouse. 
by Q.B.
 

 
 
'Twas the day before the birthday and all through the house,
Every creature was sleeping, including the mouse.
All the presents were not wrapped
And the parents had a long nap.
They had to get it done,
It was two hours before the fun.
They woke up.
There was a cup.
When the guests came,
They all said their names.
When the party was finished,
The parents were diminished. 
by A.P.
 
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the town,
Everything was covered in a snow white gown.
Every chimney was tarnished with ashes and soot,
And the owls were ready to go hoot-hoot-hoot.
Then Santa, he came,
As he shouted (not lame)
To that house!
To that house!
To apartment and store!
To that house!
To that house!
We've got so much more!
So he got down
Every chimney in town.
Away did he zoom
As he flew out of sight,
His voice boomed through the night,
"Don't be naughty till the next blue moon!"
by J.L.
