Pollution

Pollution means
Doing bad things to the Earth.
Like smoke from
Factories, cars, and even people
Cause pollution
Through gases.

Flee
By E.N.
Fourth Grade

I flee when there’s a fight.
When the police are chasing
Someone, they flee.
When there’s fire at my neighbor’s.
I flee.
In my neighborhood if I see a
Gang, I will flee.
When there’s shooting, I will
Flee.

Pollution, Pollution, Pollution!!!

By G.M.
Fourth Grader

 
 
My word is pollution,
The introduction of harmful substances
       Into the environment is pollution.
Pollution is bad.
Pollution can cause asthma.
Pollution has already caused holes in
       The ozone layer.
Pollution can be decreased by recycling.
Pollution can also be decreased by not throwing
       Garbage on the floor.

Detain

Detain is
To arrest or
To grab outside or inside,
To go to jail, or
Put him in jail when
They grab him.
