First Grade Abstract Art

Martin Luther King Jr.

Wise, caring, persistent, helpful

Father, reverend, Nobel Peace winner,

civil rights leader

Lover of freedom, peace, justice

Who feels happy, angry, excited

Who needs equal rights to fight for peace,

to fight segregation

Who gives speeches his whole life for civil rights

Who fears people do not have equal rights,

going to jail, for his family

Who likes to wear ties, nice shoes, suits

Who would like to see equality, respect,

freedom for all people

Lives in Atlanta, Georgia

Martin Luther Jr.

 Second Grade Portrait

Third Grade Pastel

Sunset

Falling into the earth

There is a reflection on the water

Red orange and yellow as far as the eye can see

So calm as a bird flies across the water

There is seaweed on the sand

Soon the sun will be gone

And the moon will be up

But for now I will gaze at the sunset

So beautiful

Inspirational x2

Passionate woman

Inspiring of her students

Brilliant man standing so tall

The passionate woman showed me the way

To learn and succeed the way I do today

The brilliant man

gaining me knowledge

Taking me on a journey from Mesopotamia

to the Roman Empire

Oh how he inspires

Keeping me focused all the way 'til college

Both are the greatest teachers in the world

Taking the oyster I was

Looking deep within and discovering the pearl

Some kids only have one in a lifetime

Some have none

How blessed I am to have two.
