Oakland Pic/Poem

We had to pick a word that represented Oakland Cemetery.  My word was family.  We had to go around the cemetery and take pictures of the letters in our word. Then I wrote a poem about family. My poem described that many people in the Oakland cemetery have relatives or a family that is buried together.

Here is my poem and picture:

Oakland Word Poem

Graves near each other are like books in a library

Name on gravestones

Gravestones say when their birthday is and when they died

Some gravestones tell how the person died

Most gravestones don’t say how they died

Makes you sad

You would bring flowers

You would ask why they had to die

Lonely as a quiet place

Lots of statues

Symbols

Religions

Went to heaven

Stone with last name

They are a family

Weekly Reflection 9/7

I am learning about the Georgia’s watersheds and the Georgia’s rivers and lakes.  I learned about where the lakes and rivers are in Georgia and I learned about the different parts of the brain.  Also I learned about Phineas Gage and how he died. Another thing I learned this week was about neurons and how they work.  I think I did well this week because I took my time on the word of the day test.  My goal for next week is to do my homework on time and to stay out of homework hall.
