Week One Writing

I Am From by Ana Malick
I am from cheese
From TV and light bulb
I am from the bear cave that is very very small
I am from the lily
The bush whose long gone limbs I remember as if they were my own
I’m from dancing with my dog and I look like my Dad
From my Dad and my three legged cat
I’m from get up! and Go to sleep! And black socks
I’m from being short
I’m from Calgary and Canada
Perogies and rice
From me dropping my sister and
breaking her head
My cat has three legs
Soft and black
Mostly on the couch

I Am From by Veronika Strutt-Bagan
I am from sink
From couch and egg
I am from the brown yellow house
Fried egg
I am from the tomato
The pine tree whose long limbs I remember as if they were my own
I’m from Halloween party and my eyes
From Aunt Dian and Roxy my
dog
I’m from biting my nails and yelling
And watching hockey
I’m from Don’t touch the pills, and Get out of bed!
And ABC
I’m from opening presents
I’m from Rocky Mountain hospital and Canada
Perogies and lettuce things
From on my birthday I stepped in dog poo
My bald uncle
Baby blanket
Downstairs

I Am From by Aurora Romero
I am from iPod
From carrots and hot sauce
I am from the (usually) clean house
Cleaning detergent
I am from the water
The apricot tree whose long limbs I remember as if they were my own
I’m from hurting my brother and I’m like my dad
From Mom and Dad
I’m from whiny brother
I’m from Clean your room, and Stop yelling at your brother
And Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
I’m from lobster
I’m from Calgary and Egypt
Eggs and steak
From I locked my brother out of the
house
Annoying
Cheese
In the fridge.

I Am From by May
I am from lamp
From light bulb and chicken
I am from the yummeh cookie jar
Smells like curry
I am from the spicy rice
The house whose long limbs I remember as if they were my own
I’m from beating my brother and crooked nose
From Mom and Dad
I’m from cuddling with pillows and spilling tea
And lounging (being lazy)
I’m from the orphanage and grocery store
And you broke my red crayon!
I’m from chicken pot pie
I’m from Narnia and the Sea of Narwhals
Curry and rice
From the neighbors cat
We ate dindin (dinner)
Mother and I ate dindin
On the
dindin table
It was rice.

I Am From by Billie Shostack
I am from bed
From water bed and iPod
I am from the really messy house
Bread bread
I am from yellow peppers
The crab apple whose long limbs I remember as if they were my own
I’m from Halloween party and your hair
From dog and hamster
I’m from dad rice and loving cats
And lounging
I’m from Don’t pick your nose,
and Clean your room!
And Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
I’m from strawberry rhubarb pie
I’m from Calgary and Canada
Perogies and wrapped in lettuce things
From a squid almost landed on my head
Myself
Teddy Bear
Bed.

PICKLES by RIO CAMP KIDS - Week One
Hi, my name was person, now pickles, and I have rabies and falafels and bacon. Bunnies and bugs, what evil creatures. I don’t get enough meep. Why derp? Because it’s fun to toast people. They get really sleepy. Run away from people with butterflies.


May’s Haiku
Cannot run at all
Lived life lounging and eating
Pies are so darn good!


Billie’s Haiku
RIO is the best
We get freezies every day
Ninja game is fun!

MOVIE TRAILER – by Emily and Ana
A woman without a name searches for her lost keys. In a world where life is cheap and everyone is looking for a good sword. No Name finds, with the help of a water bottle, a nose, and a chair – together they may just be able to save the cat the only way they know how. Guts, explosions, and a whole lot of candy. If you only see one movie this year, be sure to watch No Name.


 
MOVIE TRAILER – by May and Aurora
A woman without a face searches for her house. In a world where life is cheap and everyone is looking for a good egg. Pizza finds, with the help of a narwhal, a bunny, and a carrot – together they may just be able to save the vampire the only way they know how. Guts, explosions, and a whole lot of fluff. If you only see one movie this year, be sure to watch Stuff.

Week Two

I Am Poem by Fatimah Hafeez
I am shy annoying
I wonder what is in the end of the galaxy
I hear water splashing
I see an imaginary puppy
I am shy annoying
I pretend to be a spy
I feel shy around other people
I touch a furry head, like a puppy
I worry about my older brother beating me up!
I cry when I am not feeling well
I am shy annoying
I understand what my parents say
I say nothing
I dream to live in Candyland
I try to get a good grade on tests and PATs
I hope to get an iPhone or iPod Touch
I am shy annoying

I am weird and new
I wonder about space
I hear trains

I cry when I’m sleeping
I am weird and new
I understand wands sometimes
I say stuff
I dream about sharks
I try writing
I hope stuff
I am weird and new

I Am Poem by Alexis Kelly
I am tall and quiet
I wonder when the world will end

I worry about things
I cry when weird things happen
I am tall and quiet
I understand that the creator of SpongeBob is a marine biologist
I say humans rule
I dream about stuff
I try to do good in school
I hope to meet Spiderman
I am tall and quiet

I Am Poem by Olive DiCintio
I am manic and Italian

I want LOVE!!! Just kidding, I want a sugar high.
I am manic and Italian
I pretend to be the Queen of England
“I feel nothing!” – Captain Barbosa
I touch a unicorn’s feather
I worry about New Kid’s sanity
I cry about tears
I am manic and Italian
I understand E=MC2

I Am Poem by Caroline Dewald
I am shy and silent
I wonder if I can not be so shy
I hear an alarm
I see big pizza
I want to be a pop star
I am shy and silent
I pretend to be a ninja
I feel like a happy person
I touch a hulk
I worry about someone eating my cake
I cry when I find out there is no pizza
I am shy and silent
I understand that people like pepperoni on their pizza
I say I will be the biggest pizza eater
I dream about a big unicorn
I try to eat the world’s biggest pizza
I hope that they name a pizza after me
I am shy and silent

I saw a sign in Wal-Mart by Alexis
So I was in Wal-Mart shopping and I saw a sign. They were selling something and the sign said, “Rollback WAS $1.17 NOW $1.87.” Like, what the heck? How is it a rollback in price when it’s more expensive now? Failure Wal-Mart, just fail. You need to go back to school and learn how to subtract.

Bullies by Emily
I hate bullies. Like, come on! Find someone else to yell at. What did I do to be pushed around? I honestly
don’t care what happens at home. You don’t have to be mean.

Robert Downey Jr’s Partner in Crime! By Olive
My most exciting adventure was when I was to be hung for crimes against humanity. The year was 1834 and Robert Downey Jr. through a sword at the rope and cut through it just as I was about to fall. Then he proposed to me and we got married.

Charlie the Penguin goes to the Park by Caroline and Ana
Once upon a time there was a penguin and his name was Charlie. Charlie was going to the park to play. So he played and played and played and played and then he noticed he was so bored. He thought, “I should go make a friend.” So he went to a little boy and asked.

I’m Late For School Excuse – by Ana
I grew a mustache that was ten
feet long and then I named it Fred. Then I brushed it, but it got mad at me and strangled me for five minutes. Then we calmed down.

Why I don’t have my Homework Excuse – by Ana
My mustache ate it.

I Hate Sausage! By Ana
I hate sausage! So my mom made me a sandwitch the other day and I asked her, “What’s in it?” and you know what she said? SAUSAGE! I was all like WHAT? Then I pushed it away and I was, like, “I hate sausage!” It’s like who needs sausage? It’s so stupid. It’s just cruel to pigs. It’s not their fault that they’re runty. It’s totally opposite of cheese. You milk cows. Nothing dies. I hate sausage!

The Best Excuse Ever! by Olive
Well it all started with the garbage. I forgot to take it out last night so I had to take it out this morning. Then I fell into the can by mistake. I tried to climb out but I slipped and fell deeper. Then I moved a piece of garbage and discovered a portal. It sucked me in and I landed in a puddle of chocolate. I looked up at a sign and it said welcome to CANdyland (get it? CANdyland – garbage can). I tried to climb out of the portal but I was too short to reach it. I wandered around eating random candy that I found. Then gravity turned off and I floated up to school. That’s why I’m late.

Crap Movies by Olive
So I was watching Bring It On (crap movie by the way) the other day. I was able to predict the whole movie within the first 15 minutes. It took all the fun out of it! It’s not just crappy teen movies either, even movies that we watch at movie night with my grandmother! She was able to predict the ending just by seeing one three-minute scene! I’m serious! Movies these days need to get more difficult to understand – add more plot twists or something. I’m tired of the whole movie being ruined when I make one stupid idea for the end. If I even see one new movie that I cannot predict the end to, I will have my faith in humanity restored. Until then however, I will remain hopless.

Smoking Allowed by Fatimah
I saw a sign that said, “Smoking Allowed.” I don’t think that sign should be there ‘cause smoking is bad for you lungs. And it gives bad pollution. Mothers and pregnant should not at all smoke cause it
lad for babies! If I see people smoking, I would tell the police or, if I were one, I would arrest the person smoking! I never smoke but I am grateful for the places where they have put, “NO SMOKING!” Oh and smoking signs sifns should be
removed except “NO SMOKING” signs should stay and they should be put everywhere!! No smoking allowed!
