18 - All about me poem

All about me poem

My name is E P.

Driving 200,000 miles is like

driving on an endless road.

With cars and buildings zooming past

you have nowhere to go

except driving on that endless road.

Smelling the caramel, chocolate, and marshmallow

is enough to make you woozy.

With dreams so true, you can imagine

Having your own factory

Knowing how to speak three launguages

is a really big opportunity.

You get words mixed up

and you laugh and try again.

I wonder if I will live in Russia,

Or if I will see any cathedrals

If I will ever meet a tzar

Or a king ,or a queen

All about me poem 27

All about me poem.
My name is S.V.

I have been on an airplane at the Portland International Airport.
The feeling of going on a plane is very scary,
Especially if it’s your first time going on one.

I imagine going to a different country.
I just want to feel the different weather, eat the different food,
And meet new people.

I know how to play a piano song called River Flows in You,
I can’t play it perfectly but, I sure do try my best.

I always wonder day and night what college I will go to,
But I don’t have to worry about that for a long time.

I believe that nobody should ever give up hope on anything,
You should always keep on trying!!

This is all about me!

Notice about #30

This is just a notice that student #30 is not an actual student. The pieces are just demonstration pieces that I have worked on with my students or collaborative pieces.

30 - All about me Poem

All About Me Poem
My Name is S L

I have experienced the wind ruffling the sails,
heeling in the water,
almost being able to touch the water,
sailing a boat on the open seas.


I imagine riding an electric bicycle,
zooming up hills without breaking a sweat,
the wind blowing through my hair,
paying only five cents to ride
miles and
miles and
miles.


I know, Yo se how to speak in English
y como hablar en espanol,
el lenguaje de mis ninos,
my past y el futuro de los estados unidos.

I wonder about which one of you will become
scientists, solar powered architects, space traveler,
writers, doctors and teachers
I wonder about who you will become,
I hope that my class helps you reach your dreams.


I believe that every child in the world
has the right to an excellent education,
no matter what country you were born in,
what your parents do or
who you are.
I believe every child has the responsibility to work hard.
The world needs all of your skills, work and dreams!

1 - Tre

1 – Thunder Rose

Tre is the best basketball player in his team. Tre is tall and he can dunk and jump shots and he is good at layups.

He is the team captain.

One day when Tre was sleeping and snoring, he fell from the bed and hit his two eyes he became blind. Usually when Tre blink two time the ball goes in the net. Now if he blink two times the ball wouldn’t go into the net because he doesn’t know where the ball is.

When I told the team Tre was blind, I said it was alright because Tre has black glass so he can see. They were sad because the championships were the next day and Tre was blind so they couldn’t win.
The game went on and I built a robot of Tre and when it blinked two times the ball goes into the net. Later on it was 29 to 29. We needed only one point to win. I made a mistake because I told robot Tre to blink two times when the ball was in the air. The ball got into the net. Tre won the game.
