Charter, your...Paige, please pass this to Charter:<br /><br />Charter, your game sounds like a lot of fun, I can understand why you like it so much! Is that nickname what you use in your game too? You did such a good job describing it that I can imagine what it's like even though I have never played it before. You also have really good rhymes! 1,000 points to you!Minervahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803450940250232122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735825520095400787.post-22969076142036226472010-01-14T09:32:06.709-06:002010-01-14T09:32:06.709-06:00Adventure Quest Worlds (charter's favourite co...Adventure Quest Worlds (charter's favourite computer game)<br />by Charter Grade 2<br /><br />Charter the gassy!

Excellent jo...Paige, please pass this on to Peyton:<br />Excellent job on a potentially tricky poetic form! I love your imagined activities with your pet monkey. I have always enjoyed them myself.

1....MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO!<br /> By Peyton gr.4<br /> 1. I don’t know why I like monkeys, they’re just fun,<br /> I like how monkeys travel on their knuckles when they run. <br /> I like how they swing on their mom’s arm <br />knowing she’ll keep them safe from harm.<br />I always wanted a monkey though I had none.<br /><br />2. I asked for my birthday, but my birthday was done,<br />I waited for my next birthday in the bright bright sun.<br />It’s not the type of animal you find at a farm.<br />I don’t know why I like monkeys!<br /><br />3. Sometimes a monkey will swim for fun.<br />I would swim with my monkey until he was done.<br />Me and my monkey would be full of charm.<br />Me and my monkey would be snug and warm.<br />Me and my monkey would share a yummy bun.<br />I don’t know why I like monkeys, they’re just fun.paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11879573441359515525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735825520095400787.post-75688403608405491832009-08-28T12:33:24.697-05:002009-08-28T12:33:24.697-05:00Paige--I believe he was Canadian. :) I'll be g...Paige--I believe he was Canadian. :) I'll be glad to see what you come up with!Minervahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803450940250232122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735825520095400787.post-81294275805021711512009-08-28T12:30:40.996-05:002009-08-28T12:30:40.996-05:00hmmm... what nationality was john mccrae??
