 The World
by Pablo, 1st grade writer
The most important thing about the world is we live in it. It has dark green trees. It has grey pipes that run underground. It has happy teachers that teach children to read and write. But the most important thing about the world is we live in it.

 Your Mother
by Cole, 4th grade writer
The most important thing about your mom is that she loves you and you love her. She might give you big, slobber-filled kisses that feel like a dog licked your face so hard that it left a red mark. Your mom helps you out when you need it and tucks you in at night. Mothers will serve you hot, scrumptious meals that melt on your tongue. But the most important thing about your mom is that she loves you and you love her.
