Wishing
Here is a collaborative class poem by Alcott's fabulous third graders. Let's think of a title for it, shall we guys? Next time!
I wish I could go to Novosibirsk with a tiger, and a blue-green shark
I wish I had a cat and a magic bunk bed
I wish I can get a pokemon like Dialga
I wish I could go to the Philippines wearing a blue swimsuit with my dog fishing for sharks and eating crickets.
I wish that my dog was white as the snow in Antarctica
I wish I can fly and had a pet car
I wish I had a ferrari that had a pink elephant that was driving in the sky
I wish I was at my old house where I had my big red treehouse and all my little friendly pets around my house we sold my house that very day because we were broke and sad
I wish I had a Lucario in a red ferarri in Las Vegas
I wish I could have a tattoo of a dog that is red and it is on my stomach
I wish I could have two yellow golden retrievers in my house
I wish that I had a big red dog and I would ride it at Las Vegas
I wish I could walk my brown snake to Mexico
I wish that there was a red snake in my grandma's house
I wish I had a red gardos and we lived in a mansion
I wish I had a penguin in my white freezer
I wish I had a golden rod to save all of the world
I wish the world was filled with a color a place for anyone
I wish I could have a blue dolphin in my room
I wish I could go to the blue sea to go into a dead shark
I wish for 1,000,000,000 blue dollars and walk my dog out in Italy
I wish my school had a Bastodon
I wish I could have a blue room, with a purple and red and blue tiger, I wish that I could have anything I want. Like walk my tiger in Paris, with people running away. I wish penguin in a hot cloud. I wish I lived on a cloud. I wish.
