Student Sample: Middle School
Grades
by Levi W. & Josh H., 8th grade writers
My grades in school keep going down,
going down, going down.
My grades in school keep going down all the way to F's.
I had straight A's in Kindergarten, Kindergarten, Kindergarten,
I had straight A's in Kindergarten, now they are all F's.
In first grade I was doing better, doing better, doing better.
In first grade I was doing better, then my dog dies.
My grades were slipping down again, down again, down again
My grades were slipping down again, the rest is history!
Levi and Josh's school song parody can be sung to "The Wheels on the Bus"
