Cars

Cars are
Low to go,
Slow in snow,
And know when to go.
Stop!
You know
When to go.
Now go
Slow and low.
I know.

Local
By JR
Fourth Grade
Something local
Is when it’s small.
It’s not far away. It’s
Nearby. If you are sick,
It doesn’t affect a lot of people
With the same thing.
It’s when you are just dealing
With a city. It’s
Not around the
World.

Organization
By AM
Fourth Grade

A group of people.
A group that
