(Photo from Google.com)Do you have a dream?
Martin Luther King Jr., considered by many as one of our great American heroes, is remembered for his famous speech about having a dream and then making it come true. As this time of year approaches, we always have our students do some writing
about what they would like to accomplish in their lives.
It is always fun to read what they come up with, including seeing their creative spelling and interesting thought patterns.
The writing below is done in sections, starting in the middle and then reading
the boxes in order from 1 to 4.
(It's called "4 Square Writing" and it gives them help
in organizing their thoughts into paragraphs.
This is the "sloppy copy" and it will be rewritten on regular paper later.)
This was one of my favorites.
Enlarge the picture and enjoy the wisdom of an 8 year old.
"I Have a Dream"

It makes me worry a little less about our future,
knowing that tomorrow's leaders have some pretty good "dreams" in their heads.
Besides, being "mannerful, helpful, and kindful" can't be all bad!

Thanks to Shaista for writing this great paper and to her dad for letting me publish it!
P.S. Remember the blog I told you about? It has daily updates and is quite touching.
It's called The Livesay (Haiti) Webblog.

That's a really sweet letter. I love the way kids think and the way they spell. :) Too cute.
What a wonderful way to promote young children to dream. I loved that speech of Martin Luther King..
It is so powerful.
I would like to be in your class as a child. It sounds like fun!
