Affirmation + Shout out Week

Dever’s 7th graders had an affirming week back. After an extra long break for due to CPS’s pauses was one focused on grounding the classes back into the learning we have done together. We shared pieces we are proud of and offered each other affirmations. Below are pieces students shared and continued to develop.

7th Grade

Life Selection Szymon D

Too many steps in the wrong direction
Running just to find protection
My mind is full of memories
like a collection
Wrong choices the wrong selection
looking back at myself like a reflection
losing a lot of people redirection
I feel the sudden pain in my midsection
Dead.

Untitled Geo M.

Into a new realm I go
Into a world unknown
Another car I pass
Don’t look don’t crash

Out of the action I lash
Give em’ whiplash
Till I’m a stat
I’ll take and make my part

I’ll make my mark
Like I’m Tony Stark
Because till I’m that, far
I move up like I’m in car

One mind down to the core
Action I need more!
Here I finally and final run,
The finish is here goes done!
