7th & 8th Grade: This week we will be writing Bio poems. Only Teacher approved poems will be posted to the students' blog. Here is an example of a Bio poem I wrote several years ago:
I am from the winds of the North and the Cascade Mountains to the East.
I am from where the crosswinds blow the hint of Pine, Fir, and Tamarack trees. In the Spring you can smell the apple and cherry blossoms, and the sweet smell of wheat fields on a cool spring day. Where the four seasons are welcomed like a new dawn, on a fresh day.
I am from the young love of high school sweethearts that grew into the adults that gave me the strength and wisdom beyond my young years. Who taught me that life is not always fair. They gave me the ability to earn what you want and appreciate what you have.
I am from my Grandparents Southern influence and religious teachings. Saturday mornings at church and afternoons on nature hikes in the woods. Games of Scrabble, aggravation and debates about the world, at our lake retreat. Mornings drinking coffee and playing search a words in bed.I am from wise strong women who raised children and had careers, long before it was popular, women who were not afraid to have some fun and adventures with their children and grandchildren, take kids to Disneyland and snow skiing in the winter.
I am from the warm desert wind that smells of cactus flowers and orange blossoms. I am from a sister that is a mother, a daughter, a sister and herself a wise strong women. She is a teacher for her young children, and an inspiration to me, for my future family.
I am from my Lord and Savior who would not have taught me all that I have come to know, if it didn’t have a purpose. Who has shown me that Miracles and unanswered prayers are open windows, from the closed doors. That life is not always fair, which is why he died so that I could live.
Remember you need permission PRIOR to POSTING. Have a great week and I look forward to reading your rough drafts!

10 Students had something to say!:
I was wondering, do I have to write my rough draft letter on paper? I already have it on the computer and it is easier to edit that way. Hannah Grumbling

P.S. Be sure to leave me a message to go grade your published work.
how you all doin
done with bio poem
Hey Jay! Good hearing from you! Mr. M says Hello!!!
REMEMBEER TO LEAVE ME MESSAGES!!!!!! lol...Nice poem bio..But you said you were agnostic though...interesting!
Kyle: Be sure you understand the full meaning of "agnostic"...not the same as a non believer...Think AGAPE.
Ms. Lines
But Agnostics arent certain there is a God but it seems like in the post you pretty much are certain that God died for your sins. I do know my definition of an agnost. In your post you said "is why he died so that I could live.
" he means Lord and savior according to the post above. so thats were i am confused. Any clarity on the situation would be great!
Kyle: This subject is a tricky, with tudents as there is a clear seperation of "church and state". I will tell you this: I am not a fan of organized religion. I think that it takes away from all that a "God" could be. Look at some of the writings of Jack Sequeira. He has an amazing view on the relationship, vs. the works of the church and it's followers.
