You are my…

by Juan Pedro O., grade 8

You re the salchicha
 to my hot dog,
you are the nutella
 to my pancake,
you are the pelo
to my head,
tu eres el haiku
of my ElE project,
you are the meat to my hamburgesa,
you are the socks
to my feet, you are the chilly
to my spicy salsa,
you are the viernes
to my weekend,
you are the comida
that feeds me,
you are the teeth
to my mouth,
and
the saliva
that keeps me hydrated !

Music

by Andres B., grade 8

Nos da esperanza

It can change the world

Each time I hear it, it overwhelms me with

Felicidad

It gives us hope

En tiempos malos

It can change the world

Si! El mundo

Con solo una canción

Because it gets into our hearts

Nos cambia los pensamientos

Nos hace analisar

They can make us really think

In a song there is no limitation on your ideas

Escribes lo que piensas

En musica sale todo

Like in lightning

A struck of ideas

It changes the world

Nos da esperanza

Advice!

by JiWoong C., grade 8 

This is an advice                                                                   

To survive in my haunted house                                       

Is very easy to survive                                                          

If you have the enough skills…                                            

First never go running

Like an crazy monkey in the jungle

Never scream out loud

Like a mad lion

Every time be with a partner

If you go alone you will be lost

See ghosts every place

And you might be killed

Might be a good idea go with a dog

So he alerts you of any danger

Never be confident

Or more trouble would be caused to you

Good luck if you enter my house

This is the last advice I give

Don’t be scared….

Welcome to the haunted house! 

I Used to... Now I...

by Sebastian S., grade 8

I used to be lost. Now I am found

I used to be negative. Now I am positive

I used to be shy. Now I am bold

I used to wander. Now I wonder

I used to see a dark tunnel. Now I see a light at the end of the tunnel

I used to hear silence. Now I hear buzz around me

I used to not want help. Now I know help is what I need

I used to be unsure of what I want. Now I am focused on what I want

I used to have problems. Now I have more

I used to want to be like everyone else. Now I know I am special and unique

I used to be selfish. Now I see around the world

I used to be but now I am.

Live Your Life

by Andres R., grade 8

Being atrocious doesn't take you anywhere

Being good, takes you far in life,

Everything you say, do, or think,

Counts, and it offends people in different ways.

Life is to enjoy, and have extraordinary times.

Doing things you like, and experience

Learning about different cultures, and places

Life is never to be wasted

It is precious, and limited.

Being honorable in anything you do

Respecting nature, and human beings

Having fun with friends, and family

Not fighting with peers,

 Peace is the way to success

Helping anyone that is needed

Encourage you, and others to do the right thing

It doesn’t matter if you make mistakes

Mistakes are the way to learn

 It doesn’t matter who you are

Or what you do

Enjoy life and don’t miss it

Cause you just can live once. 

Question Poem

by Sergio C., grade 8

Why do humans say that violence is not the way to resolve problems and then create war?
Why is that so many people in the world suffer and others don't?
Why do humans exist?
I mean why does life have to be sad for some people and for others not?
Why is it that some of the poorest people live happy and rich people don't even know what happiness is?
Is there a purpose in life we have to accomplish?
Am I living the way I'm supposed to live?
Why do animals respect each other and we just kill each other?
What am I doing wrong?
Why do we don't care for our home The Planet?
Is there any life out there?
Have they ever been here?
How was the world before humans excisted?
Why do I exist?
Why is drug an addiction and not love?
Why do humans hate instead of love?
Why do we die...?
Were do we go after life?
what do we do after life?
Is there some piece of gratitude, and beauty left in the world?

Switches?

by Nicolas A., grade 8

Is there a switch for the sun?

Is there a switch for the rain?

Why can´t we switch an earthquake off?

Is there a switch for the wind?

Or a lever for day and night?

Is there a switch for gravity

Or a switch for time?

Is there a switch for the waves ?

Or switches for life?

Why aren´t there switches for everything?g

Questions About the Body

by Alberto O., grade 8

If your head falls off, will it find another body?

If your feet ran away, would they find other legs?

When your fingers go away, do they keep writing?

It your mouth ever leaves, will it keep eating?

And if your brain falls off, does it keep thinking?

When your eyes roll away, do they keep looking?

If your voice sings away, will it keep talking?

If your hair falls off, will continue growing?

And if your ears bounce away, do they keep listening?

If your soul ever flies away, will you keep on living?

Haiku

by Yeryong L., grade 8

Ants
        Like little demons                              
          I just hate them


Do you breathe?
                    Me too!
      We have so much in common


Two faced me
               I love rain
        But I open my umbrella
