Elementary Poems Submitted For Fathom These are the three best poems we received from grades 1-6 during Spirit Week. Come And Go When we go to school, We have math. When we go home, We take a bath. When we go to school, We have reading. When we go home, We are singing. When we go to school, We have spelling. When we go home, We are yelling. When we go to school, We have history. When we go home, We read a mystery. £. - -o +Ke. )Wo.4- e. r Voun-hq y a t Julie Young A Day at A.R.A. I go to A.R.A., I get up early every day. I brush my teeth, And comb my hair, Mom picks my clothes to wear. I walk to school if there’s time. We stay outside until Mrs. Nancy Rings the chime. First reading and spelling, Then we take a break. When it rains the yard looks like a lake. After math and English, We have lunch. Everybody runs outside in a big bunch. Then science and history, What happens tomorrow, Will remain a mystery. Malcolm Baldwin A.R.A. Archibald Rutledge Academy, Is a good old school. We like to sing, We like to swing, And it is cool. Dr. Fleming is my favorite headmaster, How can I work faster? I hate to study. I like to talk to my buddy. Our school, small school, Great school. Second Grade 5
