Days Seven and Eight

This week the children worked on their poems about themselves to pair with their portraits. They turned out truly wonderful! Clearly, they were written in Spanish, but I will translate to the best of my ability. It may lose their appeal a bit, but I’ll also use creative license to make them sound as natural as possible.

Portrait of Bianka:

My Life with God
by Bianka

I am from where the food is very delicious and my family has fun.
From the church where we pray on Sundays and worship God.
I am from where people behave themselves and everyone loves each other.
From the school where we study and give thanks to God.
And we help the people that need help in ways we can.

Me and my family share and celebrate the days thanking God for life and our family.
My brothers and sisters celebrate when our family is together.
Our childhood, our Christmases and gifts are the best.
This date, we are always together, being thankful for our God.

Portrait of Jennifer:

My Life as a Girl
by Jennifer

I am from Copey, where it’s very pretty.
From my house where we make delicious food.
I am one of those girls that remember and like to remember.
From beautiful things and more, concerning toys.

Doris’ Self-Portrait:

My Life With Friendship
by Doris

I am from where food is delicious.
And my family enjoys themselves.
From rice with beans to when we travel to the beaches.

I am from where people share.
And care for each other a lot.
From where friends share, and we celebrate our birthdays.

With my teacher, we help people that need help.
With my family, we share the days we go to the beach.

Portrait of Kimberli:

My Life With My Family, With God, and Rebecca
by Kimberli

I am from Copey de Dota and I live with my family.
In my house, they make good food and snacks.
I am from a house of Christmas and where the people care for each other a lot.
There is a lot of silence and I remember the things from when I was younger.

We are responsible people because my God has cared for us.
One should always be responsible and careful.
When I was young, I loved to go to church and school.
I am going to continue loving my parents and my family and my grandparents.
I am going to continue to go to mass with my parents.

I really like photography.
I give thanks for what Rebecca has given us with photography.
When one is older, they can be a photographer.
I love to take photos.

Here’s some shots I took of the girls working on their poems:
