Next week, the students will create a visual representation of their poem. Tuesday they need to bring items, photographs, or anything from their childhood included in the poem. We will take pictures of these artifacts and create a flip chart photo album on the iPads. I am very excited to see the finished projects and will certainly share them with you. We may keep the items for a couple days, if there is anything you need returned the same day just let me know. You are welcome to send items any day this week, we will just not have the iPads until next Tuesday to work.
Where I'm From
Lori Rice
I am from family, from only child to big sister.
I am from siblings and stompers, banana seat bikes and music.
Singing to the piano and playing records.
Bickering and laughing and love.
I am from Grandma's kitchen.
Homemade noodles and pie crust cookies.
Rolling everything out on the table,
Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar,
Cookie dough on a spoon, warmth of baking.
I am from togetherness.
Hog roast reunions, cousins, frogs, dirt and sleepovers.
Melted chocolate in the stockings, waiting, the angel on top, Christmas.
Milk carton baskets, penny eggs, and a grand prize dollar.
I am from unconditional love. Passed around, along, through me.
