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

Fourth Grade Collagraph

Fifth Grade Flower
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.
