Dear Friends, Wow! There is so much pollution in my house! My name is Marco. I am a salmon that lives in the Columbia River. There is so much pollution in the river, I can hardly swim! I can hear the bubbles coming out of the water bottles that are sinking. It is a mess. That is not all I have to say about pollution. One day me and my friend Lon were swimming. Lon said, “This place is a disaster!” Then when he was not looking, his head got stuck in a water bottle. Lon could not get free. I could do nothing about what I was watching. It was terrible. We had a funeral for him. Lon was my best friend. As you can see, trash hurts the creatures of the water. So please keep our river clean. Help the pollution to stop. Thank you, Marco Kate Roseburrough King’s Way Christian School 5th Grade Ms. Kipp Artwork by Isiah Jackson Grass Valley Elementary School 5th Grade Mrs. Graue School Pond Big flowing Streams Redwing blackbirds rest on Cattails Herons fly about the sky Open water moves gracefully. Puffy seeds Of cattails float in the air. Frogs jump Lilypad to lilypad. Children and animals Play in the pond. Colorful dragonflies fly Over the pond. In the trees above are Nests. Ducks quack over the food. Natalie Foster Firm Foundation Christian School 3rd Grade Mrs. Wright Page 29 My Biggest Fish Once, I went fishing at a lake and I caught a fish as big as a goldfish. It was a fun day fishing with my Dad, Mom, and friends. The lake was as blue as the sky. The lake was clear as a diamond. I saw lots of fish and salmon. In the lake, I saw a fish as big as a head.

Our Streams Shining, glowing, the wind is blowing, it’s swishing side to side, I watch and see a piece of trash, bobbing up, down and by, I am disappointed and pick it up, then put it where it should have been, in the garbage can. It’s mine, it’s yours, let’s keep it clean. Corinne Metcalf King’s Way Christian School 5th Grade Ms. Kipp Abbie Stockman King’s Way Christian School 5th Grade Mrs. Murphy “Hey, mama can we go for a swim?” said the little girl ducklings, excitedly splashing about. “Yes, of course,” the mother duck, trying to calm down the girls. “Hello, I didn’t see you there! We’re going for a swim. Do you want to come?” mama duck asked. “Ok,” said the duck who had moved in across the pond the other week. “Who’s that, mama?” said Jenny. Jenny was the oldest and the shy one. Mother duck answered saying, “She’s our new neighbor.” Mkealah was the other girl. She was very adventurous. Then they all headed off together. Mother duck said to the new neighbor, whose name was Heather, “We have been seeing lots of pollution lately.” While mama duck was talking to Heather, Jenny and Mkealah slowly swam ahead until mother duck couldn’t see them. Mother duck went to ask the girls a question and they weren’t there. She turned to Heather in case she had an idea of where they went. But Heather said she had no idea. Meanwhile, the girls were wondering where their mamas were and they were scared. They started heading back when they got stuck in a piece of garbage. They cried for help and tried to get out, but they couldn’t. They said to each other, “What can we do to get out?” Mkealah was the youngest and the scardest of the two. Jenny had to calm down Mkealah. When mother duck and Heather got closer, they heard their cries for help. “Help us! Any one!” the girls squeaked. They finally got out and were ok. Mother duck asked them many questions. On their way home, they saw more trash and made it back safe. “Those humans leave behind so much trash!” mama duck said. “I can’t believe there’s so much!” Heather exclaimed. “Let’s go ask the humans to pick up the pond.” They all asked them to pick up the trash and the people did. Throw your trash in the garbage or recycling away from the animals of the pond. Thank you humans! I’ll see you later. Katelyn Josephson King’s Way Christian School 5th Grade Ms. Kipp Page 30
