MA has the brightest smile
He is always considerate and pretty kind
He is friendly and jovial all the time
A greater friend you’d never find
 
He equally loves to learn and play
But at learning time he does not sway
He’s focused on what is being taught
He’s built his knowledge up a lot
 
He says he’s a social introvert
It hardly looks like that at first
Then you realize he’s a little bit shy
But once he knows you he’ll get by

LC is a serious girl
Her family is very important to her
She tells of all her duties at home
I wonder if she even knows
 
How mature she always is as such
She is always dependable in a crunch
She carries the world upon her shoulder
She really must think she’s so much older
 
She’s truly just a little girl
I hope she takes her time to learn
She has many skills to offer the world
I hope she lets her life slowly unfurl
MD is keen to succeed
She always works at her own speed
She thinks carefully about her work
She gives her best in all she does
 
Sometimes she wears a mischievous smile
It makes me wonder what’s on her mind
I haven’t learned to read her thoughts as yet
Will it reveal her hidden mindset?
 
What she’ll be one day is up to her
A scientist, a mathematician, or maybe a teacher
She has so many talents to guide her way
She’ll probably even be famous someday
SG is quite organized
In what she wants, she’s determined
She’s certain she’ll be a baker one day
Her mind’s made up and she will not sway
 
She can be quite fierce sometimes
She doesn’t hesitate to speak her mind
She’ll make her expectations oh so clear
Bear in mind what you will hear
 
She can definitely be a loyal friend
Upon her honesty you can depend
She knows that a friendship expects
A good dose of trust and some respect
KG is a quiet girl
Often drifting away to another world
There she imagines what she would wear
Gowns and dresses beyond compare
 
She loves to read and write and sketch
She likes to draw a beautiful dress
If she continues to go this way
Maybe she’ll be a designer one day

In some things she’s made up her mind
She has a clear sense of right and wrong
She’s determined to always remain so strong
 
Her creativity is beyond compare
She can imagine things that were never there
A turn of her wrist, a flick of her fingers
The images she creates always linger
 
She makes a mark with little said
Her drawings tell a story instead
Of dreams and ideas that are hidden within
Her inner thoughts all her paintings reveal
ML has so many sides
Timid and shy and filled with pride
She’s lively and peppy among her friends
Yet quiet and bashful when by herself
 
She works really hard to learn each day
She’s grown so much in every way
She has come so much into her own
Her path to progress has been sown
 
She has become an amazing friend
In her friendship, there is some strength
It inspires others to follow suit
To have an open heart and be giving too
OL is quick witted and bright 
When solving riddles, he's usually right 
He seems to have a sixth sense of sorts 
He can always tell what is and what's not
 
He's playful and mischievous sometimes 
When caught he makes innocent eyes
He can't believe you'd accuse him of “that”
He assures you he'd never tell lies
 
He's a kind and good friend to have 
His intentions are never unkind
Even if he were to get into a fight 
He'd quickly resolve it and make it right

In himself, he has to learn to trust
He’s already learned so much this grade
I know he’ll continue to grow in spades
 
He’s playful and enjoys a game
He’s moved by a competitive flame
Both in the playground and on a computer screen
He seems to be easily entertained
 
He should continue to share aloud
What he knows about the world around
His knowledge will help him understand
And his reading comprehension will expand
SM is always cheerful 
She tells of things that make her fearful
Her attitude is always light
She flutters like a bird in flight
 
She easily takes charge of a game

Her sweet nature keeps the mood the same
Lighthearted and without dismay
 
She’s a loving caring friend
On her you can always depend
She’ll always stay loyal to the core
Unless her feelings you ignore

He can quickly tell the main idea at that 
He always knows what's going on

Whatever he chooses to be one day 
I know that he will have his say
He's got a mind that's pretty strong 
With careful thought he won't go wrong
UP has a gentle heart
He feels things deeply for a start 
He has great empathy for his friends 
Whenever needed his hand he'll lend 
 
He loves to play some video games 
He plays them often with his friends 
Sometimes he's lonely despite of that 
A loneliness that he cannot thwart

He can show his talents with many tools 
A piece of paper, cardboard, or LEGO blocks

He always thinks of deep deep things
His eyes will hold you in a steady gaze 
He looks at the world from far far away
 
He's intelligent and so very sharp
He stays focused while tackling tasks

He does not like it when there’s chaos
He prefers it when things are calm and quiet
He always likes to do what’s right
ASal bursts with lots of energy
You can rarely accuse him of lethargy
His racing thoughts can be sometimes at war
With his speed, he’s a skilful soccer star
 
He’s usually a kind and gentle kid
He has a forgiving heart indeed
He'll try his best to be even toned
He gets easily hurt when pushed too far
 
He enjoys all sorts of sporty things
To them his energy he always brings
If he could choose the games to play
He’d certainly have his say
ASar is always composed
Wild emotions don’t shatter her repose
Whatever she feels she keeps hidden within
Only sometimes a pointed look will reveal
 
She has a calm demeanor all the time
Her eyes simply light up with a smile
When something tickles her senses and mind
You can see a twinkle in those deep dark eyes
 
She's a story writer beyond compare
Her story arc is really quite rare
In its telling she captures your heart
She clearly knows just what to say

He stands above the rest in class

He knows there are things he cannot change
His inner strength keeps him ahead of the game
He is an inspiration in so many ways
I hope his strength and courage always stays
