RESPONSE TO LITERATURE: HEY, LITTLE ANT , FRA NOMINEE

Kids should not squish ants;

It isn’t very nice.

Do you think you’d squish an ant

or maybe you’d think twice?

Ms. Cook’s class

Ants need food. They live in

Nests in the ground. Sometimes it’s dangerous

for them

To go out.

Ms. Overstreet’s, Mr. Scott’s classes

Don’t squish the ants with your shoe;

That would be a bad thing to do!

Ms. Castriota’s class

A kid on the sidewalk meets an ant.

"Will you squish it?" "No, I can’t."

Mrs. Cunningham’s class

The ant was happy,

The kid let him go.

The kid would have squished him;

But the ant said, "NO!"

Mrs. Fletcher’s class

"It wouldn’t be nice if you squished me;

If I were big, I’d let you be."

(Ant’s point of view)

Mrs. Richardson’s class

Boy:

"Maybe I will squish you flat

With my shoe, just like that."

Mrs. Akins' class

Ant:

"Big kid, don't squish me with your shoe!

I have a family just like you!"

Ms. Addison's class

If ants see the shadow of a shoe,

What do you think they should do?

Run, little ants, run far away

Then you can live another day.

Mrs. Foster's class

Don't squish the ants with your shoe!

Please think twice before you do.

John, Mrs. Foster's class

Boy:

"I used to squish ants like you,

But now I don't want to--

I see now that you're like me;

Go on your way. I'll set you free."

Ms. Jones's class

Ant:

"Please don't squish me!

Go away and let me be.

I'm alive. Can't you see?

I love my family

(and they love me).

                      Ms. Patti's class

There was a boy with a shoe,

He wanted to squish an ant.

The ant said, "Please don't squish me!"

So the boy said, "I can't!"

                      Mrs. Joseph's class

To the authors, Phillip and Hannah Hoose:

We like this story; yes, we do!

Now we'll write a story just like you!

 

             Mrs. Aslinger's class
