Three poems By Peter Andres

__ The cow __

The cow is eating

He loves to eat his fresh hay

Soon the hay is gone.

__ The pig __

The pig likes his mud

He is covered in brown mud

Then he takes a bath.

__ The duck __

The duck loves his pond

He eats some salty pondweed

He swallows it whole.

**Winter** by Mike B.

Winter is coming The cool breeze touches my skin The cold air is crisp

Students at GHES in Fort Mill, SC learned to create animated presentations.
Some students chose to make their poetry project in Scratch. Feel free to add your questions or comments about the __works in progress__. Projects are in progress, so your help is welcomed! We encourage you to download projects, edit and share.

WE THE PEOPLE: Poetry Performance Piece by DreamExtreme 5th Graders - Medford, Oregon
//(based on We Will Rock You by Queen)//

Colonists, you're lazy And a little crazy Thinkin' you deserve the same rights as us
 * VERSE 1 - THE BRITISH**

You make us angry Dumpin' our tea Believin' some day you're gonna be free

We will, we will tax you... We will, we will tax you...

Georgie, you’re a mean king Taxing ever-y-thing We don’t wanna be ruled by you
 * VERSE 2 - THE COLONISTS**

We’re tired of this mess Shoutin’ with our last breath “Give us liberty or give us death!”

We will, we will fight you… We will, we will fight you…

Everybody’s equal A nation made of people Declaring independence from the king
 * VERSE 3 - THE CITIZENS**

We have the right To win this fight Waving Old Glory all through the night

We the, we the people… We the, we the people…
