Our 5th Grade Participants

If Webkinz were boots
Feet would be dry
On snowy playgrounds

If Webkinz were mittens
Fingers could make snowmen
Rolled big and round

If Webkinz were hats
Ears would stay warm
With the sounds of winter play

If Webkinz could talk
A wind chill of 20 degrees and below
Would keep no child inside for recess
