Our favorites

This book was my favorite book in elementary school because it relates friendship and how important friends are. This book is basically about how this girl doesn’t have anything to do during vacation time and so all her friends help out and she was able to go on vacation with her friend.

I am from poem

I AM FROM POEM

By: Ashley

I am from pointe shoes,
From crayons to stories.

From plies to pirouettes, making me feel grateful.

 

I am from laughter and the smell of soup, filling the house with warmth, happiness, and sweetness.

I am from strawberry plants,

Dancing in rhythm with the wind.

 

I am from playing dress-up with my sister Stephanie,

From costumes and colorful bows.

 

I am from giant’s hands, cuddling me closely.

 

I am from Fung’s and Liu’s, helping me find who I am.

From the mother who loves her phone,

And from the father who is full of such kindness, you cannot describe.

 

I am from such a gigantic family the noise can make your head explode.

 

I am from calm and stern,

And from love to care, guiding me and helping me feel better, even when it feels pointless.

 

I am from soup and rice, sometimes bitter sometimes rich.

From cake on my face,

From my first birthday dumping cake on my face.

“splat!”

 

I am from those moments,

Laughter, soup, strawberry plants, costumes, bows, noise, cake, rice and more.

 

From family, love to myself.

I am from my heart, soul and who I am.
