Happy Summer!!!!

Hey everyone! I hope your all having a great summer! Right now I'm not doing anything exciting... the most exciting thing I've done this summer is go to Oklahoma, which was really boring. You really don't want to know how boring. It's pretty sad, so I'm hoping maybe I can live through some of your guys excitment. So if you're doing anything exciting, let me know so I have something to do besides google things like "cheese pants." So Mr. Lawrence, how are you? I absolutely LOVE the slideshow!!!!!!! Thanks for that!!!!!! I know, I know, I only really need one exclamation point, but I'm so excited I just can't hide it!!! lol talk to you peeps later!!!

Paint me Like I am

Hello everyone!
I have written a poem like the one we read in class that day. Please can you tell me what you think of it!

Paint Me Like I am
By Shannon
Inspired by Delia Garcia


Why don’t you paint me
Like I am?
Paint me courageous,
Bravely, walking through the jungle.
Paint me with a smile on my face.

Paint me with a safari hat
And ready to explore.
Paint me tall trees, rivers, and bushes.
Paint me with Tigers, Lions, Monkeys, and Crocodiles.
Paint me somewhere wonderful.
Somewhere where the sun smiles and
The moon sings you to sleep.
With hummingbirds floating,
Around the deep blue sky.

Paint me without shyness.
Paint me without hatred.
Paint me without depression.
Paint me so I will never frown.

Can you see the face telling you to paint me courageous?
Paint me with happiness, but most of all
Paint me free.
