Chase's Poems and Musical Instrument Project

We went to Expo night at Chase's school this past Tuesday night February 23rd. It was a night that all the parents could come in at their own pace and see different things the students have been doing academically as well as hearing the chorus and band both perform! Tommy and I were going to obviously support Chase and to hear her sing in the chorus! But we came away with alot more than just a chorus concert! As we talked with each of Chase's teachers they bragged on what a great student Chase is and how dedicated she is to her work, not that this came as a big surprise to us, but it is so nice to hear! (As a side note...We were at jump2it celebrating Jacob's birthday over winter break and ran into a teacher of Chase's from last school year and he made a point to come up to me and Tommy and tell us that he thinks Chase is amazing and that we have a great kid! I was so overwhelmed...I mean I know I have a great kid, but it's so nice when other people see that in your child as well!) Anyway, 2 special projects we got to see at Expo night was Chase's poem book from Literature class and her musical instrument from Science class...I was really blown away by Chase's poems...I had no idea that she could write as well as she does! Her poems were amazing! So I wanted to share them with you as well as her teachers comments about each poem...I hope you enjoy them as much as I did! :)





Center of Attention

musiC has always been in my life
I listen to music all tHE time
The sAltwater room is my favorite song
I love muSic, it completes me
Family force fivE is one of my favorite bands

I'm Ready to sing
I don't Think I could survive without music
Music Has been a big part in my life
I Enjoy music

The Pretty Princess
by: Chase Worthey

The pretty princess' palace was perfect
She was a super salon stylist
And her jewerly made her look so joyous
Her lovely laugh was loud and sweet

The spectacular salon styler princess was punctual and prepared
The beauty queen loved the beach
And went all day everyday
She was tan and loved to tango

The princess' name was Paula
And she loved designing
Her delicious designs were fancy and fabulous
Princess Paula has the perfect life and her proper palace.

Chase in the Spotlight
by: Chase Worthey




When the spotlight shines down
What will people say?

My hair is blonde like the wheat growing in the plains
My eyes are blue like the ocean
My arms reach out for hugs
My hands love to write
My heart is sad when people are mean
I always laugh, always smile, and never cuss
I love meeting new people
My friends make my life special
I live my life with no regrets
I hope for a better future
I live for God and I love my life!
Chase Worthey, that's me!

Unforgettable Memories
by: Chase Worthey

Moving away, such a sad day
I missed my house, my friends, my family
It was so different, I was like a lost child in the night
Honestly I was depressed, but I held my head high!
My parents said they felt the same, but they wouldn't understand my pain.
I was sad there, but after I would think about it, I mean REALLY think about it
I was being selfish, and I wasn't acting myself. Now that I'm back home, where I belong, I look back on my memories and smile at the fun times and I forget the bad memories.

The History of My Life
by : Chase Worthey

Just being born, "Hello World", I look around,
opening my eyes for the first time. This place looks so different, what's going on?
One year....Two years....Three years....
I'm turning 3 today, such a great age. I love Playing with toys and running around the house.
One year....Two years....Three years....
6 years, such a great life, I'm in the first grade, and I'm learning how to read and write!
One year....Two years....Three years....
WOW, 9 years old, I like my new school, I'm fitting in just fine, my new home is great!
One year....Two years....Three years....
12 years old, not that great no one really treats me that great. I feel like a little kid again...what a waste!

Yellow Flowers
by: Chase Worthey

...is born in it's own unique way, glowing throughout the world
...makes me feel so warm and happy and joyous
...gets mad when the clouds try to cover it's brightness
...looks like a great ball of fire
...is my friend because it is nice and playful
...smells like a warm vanilla candle lit all day
...behaves like an untamed dog, jumping around everywhere
...knows that it can be uplifting and happy
...tastes like vanilla, peppermint, or cotton candy
...is happy when the sun shines down on it
...lives on in peoples' lives when joyous moments occur
...sounds like the great ocean waves crashing on the shore
...is sad when people are cruel and full of hate
...dies when people's spirits are down
(Teachers comments - 98% excellent - your words in this poem are wonderful!)



Happiness
by: Chase Worthey


Happiness is a good friend
Someone you can count on
Through thick and thin
Friends make you laugh
When you are feeling blue
They help you make decisions
When you don't know what to do

Happiness is a small child
Hugging your neck
Happiness is lying in the sun
Out on the deck
Getting a tan from the big, bright sun
Listening to the birds sing
Like they're having such fun

Happiness is summer
When school is all through
Sleeping late in the morning
Then going to the pool
Going out of town
Is so much fun
It gives me a chance to see everyone
Happiness is music
I love to dance and sing
Expressing myself
What joy it brings
I wish that everyone
Could feel the happiness I feel
Because it is so real
(Teacher comments - 100% excellent)




Chase's teacher also made a comment on the entire poem book it read-


Chase- You truly have the gift of words. I could not sit and try to pick the poem I liked the best because you did a good job on all your poems! I love how you personlized your poems with pictures.

Super Work!! - Mrs. Archibald

As I mentioned Chase also did a homemade musical instrument project for Science...Chase choose to make Bottle pipes! Here are a few pictures of that project!


Just in case you can't tell the two brown bottles are Root Beer bottles and the middle bottle is a Sobe Energy drink...Just for clarification!! LOL!



We are very proud of Chase and all the effort she puts into her school work!!

Great job Chase!!
