Juice Up The True Say. You know, cough up the truth." Joshua, fourth grader, Hastings, Florida. Thursday, November 19, 2009.

The pretty white polished walls are. Demolished. Hey remember. The time when we formed a hole in the wall. The kid was in it then we. Hey we’re fallin’ bye bye bye byeByyyyeee. Say the what does.

Juice Up The True Say. You know, cough up the truth." Joshua, fourth grader, Hastings, Florida. Saturday, February 21, 2009. Oh, how wonderful you are. We read John Keats' "Ode on a Grecian Urn," and wrote odes on our favorite objects, people, places. Oh beauty to my star. That. Guides us to a beautiful night. Oh, pumping blood. That sings to. The heart. Oh lovely moon to a. Pretty sun that shines like a star. Curious, but lonely. Oh how can. Ode on my twin kittens. How loud you purr. How black you are.

My soul is as thoughtful as anybody else. My soul is as loving as my sisters and brothers soul. My soul is like the puffy white clous in the beautiful blue sky. My soul is like an owl taking care of her baby owlets. My soul is as tasty as a pack of pancakes. My soul will always be with me. My Soul That Follows Me Everywhere.
