On a freezing day
fourth graders go for recess
They run like a herd of cattle!
They rush
They run to the door.
They dare to grab snow
and aim at each other!
It's cold.
I feel frozen like a popsicle!
Outside it's like a refrigerator.
I grab snow
I shiver
Brrr…
Fourth graders going wild
Just because there's snow.
