Wrestling by Charles Heath Wrestling is a story not often told There is no worrying about the cold I never thought that I would be good at it And with luck I’ll never be in need of a medical kit I went onto the mat half scared to death He hit me in the chest, well there goes my breath I wanted to pull him down and then pound until he was on the ground Well, that’s how I wrestle always in fear I guess I’m not good enough for a career

Snow Day by Charles Heath This year has been a very hot winter It hasn’t resulted in anything but splinters. I was wishing for a snow day to stay away from school, That would be so awesomely cool.
Squash by Charles Heath
I awoke one morning to the sound of a bird, It was snowing, how absurd. Finally, a snow day for me, Now it’s time to relax and play Wii.
Racquet, high and ready for ball to arrive Players in the court The “T”, the place you run to stay alive Goggles on the face hoping not to hit it short Out of bounds, not the place to hit when down by five The tin, the kind of shot that’s not your sort Serve it deep or you’ll not survive

Trapeze School Birthday by Charles Heath
Football Players Scramble by Reed Signer
One day for my birthday, I went to trapeze school It was nothing like having a karate dual. I looked up 25 feet in the air, A place like this should be very rare. They asked the birthday boy to go first, I guess that’s me, but I am definitely worst. I had to chalk my hands and climb up the ladder, When I got up, I was suddenly gladder. I had to lean over the edge to be terrified again, But I had to do it to turn ten!

During the Animal Embassy Assembly, the boys had the opportunity to see, and even hold some unique and exciting animals from all over the country. The boys learned not only about how animals communicate with one another, but also how they communicate with people!
Mar%n Luther King Day at Brunswick school was a very big occasion. Everyone had a great %me with the Lower, Middle, and Upper school boys with their speeches and all the singers. What Mar%n Luther king did was great. Mar%n Luther King did what no one could have ever done. We all are proud that he made this big change for the world. He made all African Americans feel welcome. He changed everyone’s thoughts about how black people were treated. His speech at the Lincoln Memorial was heard worldwide. AFer that speech, America was changed by one man who cared about all people, no maGer what their skin color.

Football Team Scramble Why Mrs. Das Should Root for the Patriots by Frankie Vassalluzzo I am writing this essay to convince Mrs. Das to root for the New England Patriots. I hope after reading this paper she will be convinced. Mrs. Das should root for the Patriots because their record is 13-3. Tom Brady is a great quarterback because this year he has 5,069 passing yards and he had 5 super bowl appearances. He’s won three and lost one, not including this Super Bowl. This Super Bowl is a rematch. You may like the Giants because you live close to New York. Also, Miss John is rooting for them. Their record is 9-7. Over the years Tom Brady is better than Eli Manning. The Patriots won four more games than the Giants this season. Eli Manning won one Super Bowl; Tom Brady won three Super Bowls. Because I took the time to write this you should agree with me.
