the beauty

of being an advocate

for students with 

special needs

 opportunities

to learn what they learn
i am

 better at math

no make that algebra
i do

 science experiments

help diagram sentences

read interesting books

and for the first time

sit in art class

last year,

i would walk by
mr. malzl's

room fascinated

with the art projects

available to the class
recycle art
with soda cans
paper clips

ink pens

from life size cellophane people
made with packing tape

 to miniature clay sculptures

making it appear

easy as abc

cave art

i sit in class and listen

to instruction in his

german accent

used in making an arch

i pulled out my teacher plan book

and sketched away

to become

uplifting quotes

mrs. turley, loves great literature

to understand
and appreciate our freedoms

mrs. price
an advocate
for brilliance
in a non-traditional way
my role model
my friend

metallic strips for rightful

bragging of excellent work

assist in the classroom

a meeting after school

a fantabulousy "thriller"ing  assembly

a crossing guard

greets us with a smile

new clothes

new shoes

labeled school supplies

meet the teacher

good bye squeeze

until 3:30 p.m.

a sea of moms
