Last month, students wrote fantastic poems about their identities. They followed a poetic structure for writing an "I Am" poem, filling in the blanks with ideas they care about and feelings that fill their hearts.

Students, you can publish your work by copying it into a comment on this post. Remember to reread your poem before you do that to make sure it sounds exactly the way you want readers to read it.

I Am Poem

I am determined and compassionate
I wonder what’s out there
I hear a Mockingjay’s cry
I see a kingdom of clouds
I want to make a difference
I am determined and compassionate.

I pretend to find a flower that holds the cure for leukemia
I feel an angel’s wings
I touch my dog,who can make me happy on the worst day
I worry about cancer
I cry just to let it out
I am determined and compassionate.

I understand people’s fears
I say that you can change the world
I dream of teaching the next generation
I try to make parents proud
I hope that my family stays safe
I am determined and compassionate.

I am poem

I am amicable and vigourous
I wonder will I ever get stranded
I hear the roar of a mighty tiger
I see a time where pigs fly
I want more wealth for my family
I am amicable and vigourous

I pretend I am lost in the thick woods
I feel like a pupa growing
I touch the friend I will have forever
I worry that one day my friend will ignore me
I cry for my dog's old age
I am amicable and vigourous

I understand that my brother is growing apart from me
I say that I will make an impact
I dream that we will be friends forever
I try to connect with nature
I hope I will be a man of importance
I am amicable and vigourous

I am ingenious and unique.
I wonder if I will ever get into the olympics for horse riding.
I hear the fall winds brushing through the trees.
I see my dog Cosmo.
I want the world to be clean from the dreadful trash.
I am ingenious and unique.

I pretend I am a vet, helping all types of animal.
I feel a horse nudging me.
I touch the white puffy clouds.
I worry about amber alerts.
I cry about animals and people that are homeless and abused.
I am ingenious and unique.

I understand everybody's challenges.
I say my dog Cosmo is my best friend ever.
I dream of having my own perfect horse.
I try to do my best.
I hope that no one will hurt and abuse animals.
I am ingenious and unique.

“I am”
I am Imaginative and unidentified
I wonder the future of my life
I hear the sirens call
I see a mermaid's cove
I want to dance like a professional
I am imaginative and unidentified

I pretend I am a dancer on a stage of fire
I feel the soft autumn breeze
I touch a warm marshmallow just out of the fire
I worry about my future
I cry from the ocean
I am Imaginative and unidentified

I understand dance
I say Gods and Goddesses are real
I dream of meeting a unicorn
I try to do my best
I hope to hear a siren's call
I am Imaginative and unidentified

Persuasive Essay

Have you ever thought how your much your student likes to bounce up and down on their yoga ball? Or if you are a student, have you ever realized how annoying yoga balls are? Last year, we had yoga balls and I thought they were a big distraction. So as you can see, I believe that we should not have yoga balls at Pine Hill school.

One reason we should not have yoga balls at Pine Hill School is because yoga balls are a distraction. Also, last year my teacher got really stressed out from yoga balls. Many kids bounce up and down on yoga balls and my teacher from last year, would say it makes her seasick. And how would you get your work done when you’re bouncing up and down? How can you write? I think that chairs let you get your work done more, and you can be more sufficient. Also, other kids might be watching you use your yoga ball because it is a distraction and they might want one too if they don’t have one. They might not be listening to what the teacher is saying all because of a yoga ball.

Another reason we should not have yoga balls at Pine Hill is because students could get hurt. Someone could be sitting on their yoga ball or lying down on their yoga ball and then could roll of of it or just fall off of it and they could get hurt. For example, last year during a test, one of my classmates was sitting on her yoga ball and it popped. Popping your yoga ball or just falling off your yoga ball could cause injuries and the person who fell off would have to go to the nurse. Plus, other students could get distracted from their classmate falling off their yoga ball and they might not do their best best work. Also, the nurse is probably already busy taking care of people who really need help and and got hurt badly. She probably doesn’t want to give all the people who got hurt from yoga balls, ice packs.

The final reason we should not have yoga balls at Pine Hill School is because it’s not fair for other classes. Also, other people might try to use someone else’s yoga ball. From what I know of, not all classrooms at at Pine Hill get yoga balls. Therefore, other kids might try to use someone else’s yoga ball because they want one too.

As you can see, we should not have yoga balls at Pine Hill School because they are a distraction, students can get hurt, and it’s not fair for other classes. I mean if you were using a yoga ball you wouldn’t want your students or your classmates to use your yoga ball, or get distracted by a yoga ball, or of you were the nurse would you want to have to take care of so many people. Would you?
