In mid November, we took our first field trip of the year. We ate lunch, ran around, wrote some poetry, slid on a big slide, and played at the playground. We came back to school to finish our poems and paint our memories in watercolors. Enjoy!
Teardrop Park
By Milla
Up and down the water goes
The highline in view
The sun making the water
Sparkle like a diamond
Lady Liberty and Ellis Island on the water
Those big cranes behind them
Boats go smoothly on the water
Almost as if they are hovering on the surface
Birds in the distance
This is the Highline view
From Battery Park!
Teardrop Park
By Wyeth Zeff
The leaves are falling,
When people are stalling
And Dan is calling look out at the view,
The sunshine is bright,
Planes took their flight
And the water is also blue too,
I look at the clouds,
The chatter is loud,
I talk to the person I see,
I look at the sight,
I know what to write,
For my perfect poem beside me.
Teardrop Park
By Freya Sutter
Trees move with the wind
Sun shines on the fiElds
The wAter bumps
Children climb Rocks
Dan and Tara read
Red leaves fall
cOlor is everywhere
The children are hapPy
We are Playing in the sun

I run on the gRass
The trip was breathtaking
The Hudson River
By Harlan Paroff
The Hudson River is near
As the sun shines above the fear
The wind turns light
As the sun stays bright
The leaves are blowing in the air
As the wind is blowing through my hair
The bricks are a rusty gold
They aren’t very BOLD
I see the waves
It was a picture i will save
The Hudson
By Samuel
The water sways like
The Duat a magical realm
The sun is blinding like
The morning light
The Statue of Liberty
Stands high
Like a

Teardrop park is super fun,
When I’m on the slide, I’m never done!
Sliding down is super fast,
I’m going faster than the past!
Teardrop Park
By Oliver Benavidez
The buildings tower
High above the human ground
As the grey pigeons fly down
And then fly right back up again
As kids chase them away many at a time.
As nests are being constructed in the branches
Of the trees.
As you sit down quietly
And just wait for something
Great to happen
Or something small to happen
Like a butterfly to fly by.
You sit down quietly as the waves blow
Wind into your direction.
Teardrop park
The park of grey pigeons
Tall buildings
Kids
Nests
And butterflies
I Can See Across The Water
By Zach Mastrodimos
I see calm water,
I see the Hudson River,
I see boats,
I see that the water is bluish green,
I see giant buildings,
I feel small looking at the buildings,
I see my apartment building,
I see tiny waves,
I see New Jersey,
I feel Awesome!
A Day at Teardrop Park
By Imogen Notaro
Children staring ahead
Branches swing
Wind in your hair
BIG BOULDERS, little rocks
Pigeons straw fly away
Leaves lay, hopeless
The water shines in the light
Lady Liberty looks at us hand waving
water blue green
The bumps and
The Boy With The Red Coat
By Cecilia Cunningham-dePedro
The boy with the red coat,
Chasing the birds, as if he too,
Could let go and soar away,
The boy with the red coat,
Staring at the baby blue sky,
One so brilliant, it looked fake
The boy with the red coat,
Peeking out of a shell like a turtle,
But then quickly ducking back into his den,
Saying goodbye to the birds
Before his last glance of the wild world

Kicking people off the slide!
People are doing a train
down the slide with the whole class.
A lot of people are at the bottom of the slide.
The train comes down and some people get off the slide.
Some people can’t get off in time and the train knocks them off the slide.
Dan closes trains.
Skyline
By Mayer Sidikaro
The red trees glow
The yellow trees
Are so bright
They hurt my eyes
The grass is colorful
The colors of
Where the sky
And the buildings meet
Are perfect together
Blue and gray
Blue and yellow
Blue and black
Don’t I live in a great city?
I Don’t Like It, I love It
A Teardrop Park Poem
By Mayer Sidikaro
Surfing down a slide
I like it
The wind on your face
I like it
I can’t stop going down
I like it
Steep as a hill
I like it
Surfable as any wave possible
I love it
RIVER
By Mia Galpern
Moving
Quiet
Slow
Blue
Sleepy
Calming
Waves, boat and fish
Are all
A part of the river
We’re by the Hudson River
By Lily Faulkner
The leaves are blowing in the air while the wind is howling in my hair.
The water is flowing as the helicopters are going.
We’re by the Hudson River
The lights are off the sun is shining.
We’re by the Hudson River
The benches are green while the sides curl up
a man walked by with a cute little pup.
We’re by the Hudson River
Wind and Leaves
By Sophie Lamont
I feel the wind on my skin
I see pigeons flying over grass
I see people walking
I see Ellis Island
I hear Tara talking
I hear trees crackling
I see the Hudson River with a high tide
The Hudson River has no tall boat
The sun is shining very bright
It makes a lot of light
The slide is silver
It shines very bright
There are rocks beside the slide
Hudson River
by Dash Cosaboom-Son
Here at the Hudson River
it gives me such a shiver
in the lake down below
there is a boat to float
and help the people
in situations of distress
And stops the people
who do bad things
to help the people
who do good things
In a Ferris Wheel
above it gives me quite a chill
to be at that height
and rock up…down…side to side
TearDrop Park
By Beckett
The whole place is so wonderful
Everything is beautiful
The trees are so magical
Every things amazicle!
The water sways so peacefully
There’s very pretty scenery
And everything is amazingly nice
You might get a little tear
When it’s time to go
But you can drop by
Anytime you want you know?
The Hudson River
By Luca Hoffman
I hear the siren of the police boat
It hurts my ears
I wonder where the boat is going
Maybe it is going to give someone a ticket
I see a taxi boat
It is going very slow
I imagine annoyed people on the boat
Late to work
I feel the cold breeze
My hands are freezing
The wind is on my face
It feels good
Hudson River And New Jersey
By Grayden Pasmore
The building are tall
As the water is low and calm
The Statue Of Liberty
Is as awesome as ever
The air is fresher than ever
And calm as the wind is speeding
The boatless waters and
The buildings are interesting
The birds are soaring above us all
Teardrop Park
By Leo O’Hagan
The fast slide
The Statue of Liberty
A park of fun
Rolling on fields
Dropping down a slide
Trees
Open fields
Open fun
Playing
Awesome
Really Cool
Docks
Looking at the Atlantic From the Hudson River
By Chase Goldner
The city has the pity, to be free
Look down the Hudson River, in the city
See the Statue of Liberty
This is New York City, we have some brie
The Statue of Liberty means a free country
When you’re downtown you can see it vividly
The U.S is a free country
The Statue of Liberty represents that with a plea
Even though the Statue of Liberty is now dirty
And a century ago it was clean
Our ideas of liberty
Should never change
It might rise or it might fall
Justice and liberty
Forever and for all
