Nagging Me

One of my sixth grade students (girl) wrote this poem and turned it in for extra credit. Simple yet clever.

Summer is a dear friend of mine,
It's so free, and it's so kind,
But yet there's something nagging me,
A place where I need to be,
A place where people learn the rules,
I've realized that this place is school,
The bell has rung, I'm in my seat,
But yet there's something nagging me,
A place where I would rather be...
SUMMER!

  1. That's pretty good. She should send it somewhere. It'd be perfect for a September issue.

  3. A new student to the school. She's as prolific as it gets at age 11.
