Oakland Poem

At Oakland Cemetery we had to think of a word that we thought represented Oakland. We pictures of letters on grave stones and made it in to a word. When we got back we made a poem about our word and my word is details.   

Oakland has so many details around the corner

An angel’s face is life like as if to show she or he is happy now

The lamb sits with exquisite beauty and innocence on its face

The lion is in peace with the Confederate flag with him, but needs someone to be with him He needs someone to remember him and what he stands for As he lays there with his back in pain

The Nichols have had a long good life and if I miss them

The detail of theirs life made my mom who she is today

The little boy sleeps in a shell He is as tired as a bear going to sleep for the winter

The dove in the glass

HOW IT FLIES TO THE HEAVENS WITH GRACE

The man sits and wants you to say hello whenever you come

Don’t expected him to ware a tie when you see him

SAY HI FOR ME WHEN YOU GO

The kids in the water never get wet from the rain

The kids are as dry as the white clouds in the sky

You can see for your self the beauty and detail of Oakland

And it’s just around the corner

The things I learned for this week is how to edit somethings in iPhoto. I learned about thirds in music. I also learned the history of Atl. I learned that the Native Americans had Atl. for 12,000 years. Also after the Civil War they had to rebuild all the railroads. In 1865 they had 5 railroads back in action. Hope you have some complements for me.          

Oakland Cemetery

Today at Oakland Cemetery we learned that there are different grave stones like bed and mausoleums. We learned who is buried there like Margaret Mitchell who wrote ‘’Gone With The Wind’’, Joe Jacobs owned a drug store that sold the first Coca – Cola, and Jasper Newton Smith who didn’t like to ware a tie and he wanted to greet people who came in. That is just a few of the many people that are buried there. We learned about what the Confederate Lion of Atlanta and that it was the stone for the unknown solders. And about Bobby Jones the golf player. He won the grand slam golf when he was about 14. That the most of what we learned.

I thought the first time before the trip I thought it was sad to see all the people there and my family members. But after a little ways when I was there I felt a little better. It was cool with all the graves and how the graves were made. The angles, the art on the them, and the how they put the plants. Sometimes to was loud noises, but it was fine. One of my BFF’s was there with me so we had some good times there. I hope to see my family members again tomorrow. I think I will. My class can visit them too. Over all it a ok trip and hope everybody enjoyed it.               

Weekly Reflection 9/7/12

This week I learned about watersheds in GA. A watershed is smaller more specific then a river basin. There are 52 watersheds in GA and 14 river basins. I also learned about all the rules of photography and about different music artists that came form GA. I think the week went okay, but next week I think it will be great. My  goal  for next week is to try not to stay up till 11:45 at night or even later.             

Weekly Reflection 9/4/12

Hi! My name is Teresa. You probably know me from singing the ‘’National Anthem’’ at the Howard basketball games. I love to sing because I’m so good at it. I love to doodle pictures I create in my head. My favorite type of music is country like for example Taylor Swift and other country singers. One of my favorite singers is Josh Graven. He isn’t a country singer. I am a tomboy and I love to go outside. If the buggies are not so bad outside. My favorite sport is basketball. I think school is going great this year. Hope you look at my blog.
