NATURE Helping the <strong>Earth</strong> BY: LAUREN CHOJNACKI 5th grade Bailey Lake Elementary, Clarkston Schools A lot of tragic things happen on <strong>Earth</strong> as a result of what we, human beings, do. The number of living animals and forests is dropping. We are making and throwing away a lot of trash. This may not sound very important, but it’s a huge thing because nature is part of the world. If you hurt it, it may never bloom again. What can you do to help our world? Have a green thumb and help plants and animals. Don’t destroy plants for fun or any other reason. Animals are just like you and me, but shaped differently, furry, and eat food on the ground. Treat animals nicely and softly because they’re living things, too. There are trash cans and recycling bins everywhere. They are two different things. Don’t throw away what can be recycled. You can save many natural resources by doing this. If you miss the bin with your trash, please go back and pick it up because it can fly in the wind and an animal might eat it and get sick. Help people when you get a chance. It’s just the nice thing to do. Be nice to others, animals, and nature. Polar Bears BY: CARALYN HASS 4th grade, Bailey Lake Elementary, Clarkston Schools One problem that the world is facing today is global warming. There are many reasons why people should take it seriously. One of them is that the climate change is affecting the polar bears. We are losing polar bears quickly. Polar bears’ drained-out-color fur is very thick and keeps their giant body warm so they can survive in the cold winter land. They hunt for food - they eat seals - and it takes a lot of patients and time. Polar bears are normally independent. Mothers stay with their cubs until mothers think that cubs are ready to go out into the world by themselves. Polar bears spend more time in the sea than on land. The global warming is making less time for polar bears to hunt seals because the ice needs to be frozen so they can walk and hunt seals and to not starve. So if it stays warm longer, there is less time and food polar bears get. This makes the polar bears lose 15 pounds. The population on Hudson Bay, the second-largest bay in the world that is usually frozen over from mid-December to mid-June, has gone down more than 20 percent, because of temperature changes. Scientists have worked really hard to find the solution to global warming. There is no one thing that can solve it. Every person in the world has to help. 4 www.KidsStandard.org Publication INC.
POEMS An Image Of Peace BY: EMILY VALENCIA 4th grade, Bailey Lake Elementary Clarkston Schools A shiny little lake, sand between your toes. Fish having fun, and the cool wind blows. Up with my finger, I spot something with my eye. Some colorful seashells, at the shore is where they lie. I pick them up, I examine them now. But one seashell is moving, my cat started to meow. I picked it up and examined it some more. Then everything turned silent,I wanted to explore. I looked up, it looked so beautiful. A shiny lake and geese flying in the distance, the sun shining bright and no clouds in the sky. It felt so peaceful, I can say. I have been so peaceful since that day. BY: TIMOTHY O’DANIEL 8th grade, Clarkston Junior High School The Eiffel Tower looming above The line extending, a snake at the tower’s base The tower, forever reaching for the sky. My excitement draining, time in line drags slowly on The seconds as minutes, minutes as hours, an hour is eternity Finally it ends! The ascent is here! My excitement grows the tower’s pattern spirals past We reach the top and I dash out the doors Onto the outer platform, leaving the elevator behind “Come on, come on,” I shot to my family I reach the railing and the world stops its spinning. Paris is a sea, spreading away from me The Eiffel Tower, my island, and I am the ruler Not whipping winds, but a gentle breeze plays around me The sun smiles warmly down, it doesn’t burn My heart beats with the exhilaration of being so high Paris, a beauty a wonderful sight, creates feelings of happiness and joy and light. The rooftops glisten in the shining morning dew The design of the city creates a colorful quilt of buildings Leonardo da Vinci couldn’t paint such beauty Pigeons are droplets of gray paint roosting The buildings united, they rise and fall in waves The rising sun backdrop paints everything glowing If only this moment would last forever. But alas, as I turn around The sight is leaving, the end is found. Back, back into the doors of dullness Down I go, back to the real world But forever I will remember that beautiful sight And know that we can be more than a darkening blight.
