  1. A Sonnet of the Moon By Charles Best

  2. A Sonnet of The Moon LOOK how the pale queen of the silent night Doth cause the ocean to attend upon her, And he, as long as she is in his sight, With her full tide is ready her to honor. But when the silver wagon of the moon Is mounted up so high he cannot follow, The sea calls home his crystal waves to moan, And with low ebb doth manifest his sorrow. So you that are the sovereign of my heart Have all my joys attending on your will; My joys low-ebbing when you do depart, When you return their tide my heart doth fill. So as you come and as you do depart, Joys ebb and flow within my tender heart.

  11. Fifth Grade Jitters By Sheila and Lena

  12. Fifth Grade Jitters 5 o’clock in the morning; The alarm clock is ringing. I wipe my eyes and roll out of bed. I turn my iPod on and start singing.My shower is done. My clothes are ironed out. My bag is packed, And now I start to freak out.Am I ready for this? What will I do? Questions and uncertainties loom. I shake my head as the nervousness brews.I walk into the classroom, Not sure what to do or say. I slowly start to walk around, I begin to feel better throughout the day.The kids are so welcoming. Their innocent, exuberant smiles ring. My worries fade away quickly And I wonder what the next day will bring.
