When I Went to the Clouds

This week was all about dreams. We discussed the difference between daydreams and dreams that occur during sleep. Then we discussed what dreams mean when they are our desires and goals. Ms. Licea’s classroom was filled with dreams of all types this afternoon! After taking turns reading an excerpt of Carole Boston Weatherford’s “Which Way From Dreamland?”, students wrote their own dream poems!

When I Went to the Clouds

Olivia A.

One day I was dreaming

I went to the clouds.

I wonder how they feel

Do they feel fluffy or

soft?

I wonder how it looks like

Does it look blue

and white? Is there a lot

of birds?

My Favorite Dream

Jacob G.

One dream was how

I became a soccer player and

it was cool and exciting and

kinda fun and funny and

I scored the winning point

and I was happy

as we won the game

because I scored and it

was a cool dream but then

I woke up

Mi sueño es

David C.

Mi sueño es ser policía

para salvar y proteger

para ayudar a la gente

para arrestar a los agentes de ICE

Mi sueño es ser

policía para salvar a la gente

de la inmigración

Le diré al juez que no está

mal porque no es

justo atrapar a personas

que son de otros países.

My Dream Is (translated from Spanish by teacher)

David C.

My dream is to be a policeman

to save and protect

To help people

to arrest ICE

My dream is to be a

policeman to save the people

from immigration

I will tell the judge it is

not bad because it is not

fair to trap people

that are from other countries.

I have a dream

Juan R.

It’s good to have a dream

because you will never

see your future. My

dream is to be a soccer

player. I’m defense. The team

I want to be on is

the Mexico team. I’m going

to win everything.
