My North Star Is...

Love Is Bright
By Rasir C.
My North Star is love. Love is kind and helpful to
be nice to each other.
To become a family love guide you to people that are nice.
It reminds me that I love my mom and dad.
It looks like hugging family.  My love is great,
It gives me kindness, love, and power to live.
Like Valentine’s Day shows you love.
Love is awesome, they give you presents and you get kissed.
They give you chocolates and balloons with a heart.
It means you like someone fun, cool, and awesome.
Love shines.
 The end of the love story

DANCING  POEM

DANCING FEELS POWERFUL LIKE THE  NORTH
STAR. IT HELPS ME FEEL LIKE I AM SPECIAL!  PEOPLE ARE BEING NICE TO  OTHERS. IT REMINDS  ME OF SSSSSSUUUUUUUUMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR. IT LOOKS LIKE  BUTTERFLIES ARE IN WONDERFUL SPRING. IT GIVES ME NEW THINGS EVERY DAY.

IT GUIDES ME TO DO AWESOME THINGS BUT I COULD  NOT DO IT WITHOUT MS. JANE.

My North Star
By Ms. Jane
My North Star is art, especially kids’ art.
It helps me to focus on the pure joy of creativity for its own sake.
It reminds me that the bright colors of rainbow happiness are easy to get every day, even in the miserable winter.
It looks like paint, glue, glitter, feathers, googly eyes, crayons, stickers, construction paper, origami hearts, markers, staples, tape, and little blinking lights.
It gives me faith in the present and the future.

It guides me to the best part of myself.

Freedom Quilts and Poems




Talking About Slavery and Heroes
by Rasir C.

In slavery, we were not treated right
But now it is our turn to fight.
Harriet Tubman led the way of the Underground Railroad.
Malcolm X stood up for black people and
Martin Luther King, Jr did not use guns or darts,
But his dream lives on and he used his powerful words.
Barack Obama is the president and he takes care of the city and the people.
He lives in Washington, DC.
In this time, if people were fighting, I would tell them to stop and be friendly.
If I was the president, I would take every gun away.
Michelle Obama stood up for people too

By helping her kids and being a lawyer.

Beauty of Color
By Veronica and Nisa
The way to freedom is to stop slavery as in
Jail and catching bad people
And hurting people
The way to freedom is to help people.
Being nice, kind, and loyal.
You should be giving.
People are going to take some art lessons
When they have some freedom.
You would have to feel for people to be nice.

And then once they really got good at it, they became an artist.
