I Am From

Students worked on an amazing piece of poetry this week.  The title of the poems are "I Am From".  I wrote one earlier in the week and shared it with them.  We broke the poem down into small chunks and brainstormed together.  When it was all said and done, every student had a unique and outstanding poem to share.  This is the display in the hallway.  Please be sure to stop by and take a look.  They did a GREAT job!

"I Am From"

I will share my poem with you. . .but you'll have to stop by to read the rest of them! ;)

I Am From

by Heather Hall

I am from Mom's well used Bible, chiming grandfather clocks,

and unique antique furniture with stories to tell. 

I am from phone booths that really work, a claw-foot bathtub never used,

and a home overflowing with love.

I am from grapevines with sweet treats, trampolines,

and my favorite place to be alone - the pond.

I am from where everybody knows you whether you know them or not,

and childhood friendships that last forever.

I am from  Ma and Pa, Granny, a precious church family,

and Acts 2:38.

I am from, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!"

and every nights line, "Is your homework done yet?"

I am from Mom's famous meatloaf and banana ice cream

and family meals around the table every night of the week.

I am from album after album with thousands of photos

turned in to new scrapbooks with precious memories to treasure!
