My Wishes

The 4th grade poets from the after school program at Howe School of Excellence wrote about their wishes. After studying several poems by elementary school students from other school about their wishes, the students from Howe discussed and wrote about the things they wish for. The wishes included material and non-material possessions as well the places they want to visit and the careers they aspire for. Enjoy!
