Fall is in full swing on Southern's playground where some third graders take part in jumping in piles of leaves during recess.  Below are poems created by students that have been inspired by this experience:

Fall

By Jaden Potter

I am a leaf falling from the tall tree.
I see the grass coming at me.
I feel the wind in my face,
I hear the wind roaring.
I am dropping to the ground and it's a little scary,
I touch the cold ground.
I wonder if someone will collect me.
I dream I can one day soar in the sky again.
