I sat on the bench.
I saw rocks at the river.
We used poles for our fence.
The water tower was very tall.
"Holes" is a great book.
My dad has a truck.
That stump used to be a tree.
I can climb into my window.
Last night my dad cut our field.
I will be glad when I get to High School.
I do not like Middle School.
Last year I was in Elementary school.
I hope to someday have many children.
My favorite teacher is Mr. Hernandez.

Me quedé en un banco.
Granted, the first answer is the literal answer. But, if you want to be just a little bit literary, and give the sense of not only sitting on a bench, but staying there a while, you could try this one. Quedarse is to remain in one place. And, the rest of the poem indicates contemplation in one spot.
Just an idea!
