Poetry and a Fifth Grade Cinderella: An Anthology from Nebraska

By Pyrtle Second Graders

These just a few examples of the many stories we created this year. We will remember all of the good times in second grade and in Writing Circle when we read these stories. Maybe a few of us will grow up to be published writers some day!

Apology Poem

Taylor, I am sorry but I took your Steelers’ football sign and I dropped it in the street. Now I bet it’s hanging in Mom and Dad’s room because they probably thought you dropped it there and it was your birthday present.

Apology Poem

This just to say, that your giant puffy beenbag chair is not in your bedroom. Mom said to put it in the backyard. I had to help take it. I didn’t want to. I didn’t see people were on it. So I attached a small rocket. I forgot I was on it and I pressed the button. Now, I wish I hadn’t done that. Please forgive
