"Touchdown, Lions!" By: Mr. Tigue and Miss Cox's Homerooms (Whole-group writing)

Have you ever experienced the most spectacular sport? Whenever I think of a football game, I get an intense rush. Dazzling sights at the game keep me on the edge of my seat. Extraordinary sounds throughout the stadium make me want to scream. Finally, the splendid feelings we have are even better when we win!

If you've never taken the time to notice the dazzling sights of a football game, you are missing out! When you look around the stadium, the intensity of the whole experience is astonishing. On the field, football players burst through the Victory Line like a freight train. They are bulls as they crash into their opponents. The best part of the game is watching someone on our team zoom by the other players at mind-blowing speeds to score a touchdown. Cheerleaders begin to throw footballs and t-shirts into the crowd, and the band rocks side to side to the beat of the music. I love to scan the crowd and watch all of the crazy fans with their outlandish face paintings, bizarre outfits, and spray-painted hair. What a sight to see!

The sounds at the game are even more exhilarating. Throughout the game, I crave the sound of the announcer yelling, "Touchdown, Lions!!!" When the fans begin to scream, it feels as if bombs are bursting in your head. As the football players collide, it sounds like monster trucks ramming into each other. The crack and pop of helmets and shoulder pads make me ache. During kickoff, sounds of drum rolls and clanging cow bells fill the air. The many different sounds of the game make my head spin.

Finally, the splendid feelings I get at a football game make me want to scream and shout! All day at school, I am anxious and eager to get to the big game. I can't wait to meet my friends at the Victory Line to show our school spirit and pride. Whenever we play Lincoln, our rival, I feel frantic as I wait for the game to begin. By the time fourth quarter arrives, the action is fierce and the fans are on the edges of their seats. When we finally have vanquished our opponents, excitement roars through the air like thunder.

Hopefully, you can see why I think football is the most spectacular sport! The dazzling sights, exhilarating sounds, and splendid feelings of a football game make it the place to be on Friday night!

"Spring Season" By: Aleaha

Do you have a favorite season that you love more than all the rest? Spring is my favorite season because of the dazzling sights, glorious sounds, and the marvelous feelings you have that almost make you want to explode!

All the dazzling sights make you want to enjoy what the Heavens have brought you. Dragonflies start flying around as they follow one another, and the birds begin to fly around too. The chirp, chirp, chirping of the birds make me love spring. The colorful beauty of spring is stored in your mind, and you will wish that the beauty will never leave. Beautiful colors cover the blooming flowers. The pink, yellow, and blue flowers make you feel as if you are looking at a colorful rainbow.

The glorious sounds that spring has to offer make you have wonderful dreams every day. The most beautiful sound of spring is the sound of the dragonflies buzzing their wings as if they are clapping to a song. When the bees start buzzing and the frogs start jumping in the water, they make sounds that seem like you are listening to a symphony orchestra.

Who would not like the marvelous feelings that you get during spring? When spring is just about to end, I always enjoy the wonderful things that made me love it so much more. When you first see that spring is ending, you start to glow inside and your face starts to light up like a light bulb as you think of everything that has happened. It makes me feel happy and proud of what I have achieved during spring, and I try to always remember what it looked like.

Now you know why my favorite season is spring. The dazzling sights, glorious sounds, and the marvelous feelings you have will make you wish that it would never leave.

 "Summertime" By: Catherine

Splash! Little kids jump into pools of crystal clear water. My favorite time of year is summer. The eye-catching sights, thrilling sounds, and the extravagant feelings make summer my favorite time of year.

The sights of summer are eye-catching. Dragonflies swarm around you. People suck the honey out of honeysuckles, and children wander across the smooth, sleek grass with their dogs. Butterflies flutter in the air looking for a flower to land on. Finally, the sights of flowers blooming and blossoms growing let me know that summer has arrived.

The sounds of summer are thrilling. Birds are chirping away and smacking on worms and insects. As the winds whistle through your hair on a breezy day, it makes a high-pitched sound just like a piccolo. Families are just absolutely screaming their lungs out at all the outstanding theme parks. One of my favorite sounds is hearing little kids scream for ice cream when they hear the ice cream truck coming down the street.

The feelings are extravagant. It feels as if the Sun is a golden friend clinging to your back. Sometimes it is so hot it feels like the Sun is a toaster, and you are stuck right in the center of it about to be toast!

As you can see, of all the seasons, summer is the best of all.
