Slice-of-Life Day Thirteen Entries



What is it about Pencils?
by Luciana P, 5th Grade Heritage

What is it about No.2 pencils?                                                          
Crack!
The lead breaking from the end of my pencil.
Me getting mad that it happens every 2 seconds.
The sharpener running over and over again so the pencil can get a fresh start.
What is it about No.2 pencils?
Writing 1,000 words on the page for me like it’s a slave.
Getting smaller and smaller until you can’t grip your fingers around it.
What is it about No.2 pencils?
The cardboard box sitting on my desk with pencils in it, 20 count.
Cracking and breaking until you can’t take it anymore.
And maybe this time I will use a mechanical pencil.
Until it runs out of lead,
And once again, I will be mad, over and over again.

What is it about Meadowink?

by Peyton C, 5th Grade Heritage

What is it about Meadowink?
The diving boards
The cool water on hot summer days
The end of swim team party
Swimming with friends
The awesome coaches
What is it about Meadowink?
The rainy swim meets
The loud cheers we all scream
The cannon ball contest that I never win
Playing tag in the pool
Or team picture day
What is it about Meadowink?
Getting my new team suit
When Jodi tells me that I’m going to champs
Or winning a ribbon or a medal

What is it about Meadowink?
