Student Sample: Early Elementary

My Father
by Muhammad, second grader

My father has a smile,
His teeth shine,
His teeth shine.

He’s excited when he sees me,
He is kind,
He is kind.

His cheeks go up when he comes home,
He seems fine,
He seems fine.

I am happy when he smiles,
He is mine,
He is mine.
