Ms. Lehner 4th Grade Group 1
The people here are unique and have different cultures
People playing, basketballs bouncing in my busy neighborhood
I see people driving different cars and kids running around
I remember leaving home to a hotel
I saw different people, new types of nature
And so many people walking and just living their life
Near Cottage Grove I left my car. I saw trees and flowers
I drove past people playing basketball
The people here are unique and have different cultures
My neighbor
She always has a smile on her face
And it makes me smile, too
I first met her when I was 3 and I was
on my porch. She gave me a pizza and
it was good
I heard her dogs barking , her dogs were
cute, cars were passing by
My neighbor
At the School of Shoesmith
The school shimmers with knowledge and positivity
The school glimmers with colorful walls
I remember the skating field trip
I fell a lot but I still stood up
I felt encouraged by my friends
The very unique building has lots of rooms
The rooms are filled with knowledge
At the school of Shoesmith
The food and the parties are the soul of Chicago
Chicago looks
like where all the fun stuff is
My favorite memory is when me and my family
went to a celebrity restaurant and the food
was absolutely amazing and everyone was nice
I was downtown by buildings and it was
so fun it smelled like fresh pizza and it was busy
The food and the parties are the soul of Chicago
At my school
It looks colorful and bright
It’s logo is a honeybee
It sounds chaotic
It sounds like a lion’s roar
It sounds like a car honking
A memory is kindergarten, my birthday
when my smile was as bright as the sun
At my school
at my Shoesmith
how the kids scream with joy and
yell with excitement
and how my friends help me when
I’m down and they help me with
my work
at the class I listen
and in the park I play
at my Shoesmith
On the long and quiet streets
Everywhere I go I hear the music
of 80s and 90s.
I remember my cries and
struggles when my grandpa died
I remember me seeing his ghost
I was climbing over my father’s
shoulder at my dead grandpa’s house
On the long and quiet streets
in Chinatown
I smell different foods
I see fine china and Chinese lanterns
I remember when I went to a seafood place
when I went to Chinatown. It made me
be more open minded about food, clothes, and drinks.
with Auntie and Mom I got a new fan and
a new dress
in Chinatown
At the lake of Michigan
I feel the wind on my skin
so does my Mom she also feels the wind
I feel the love of Hyde park
I feel the love of my ancestors
I know I’m loved
I feel the water splash at the lake
I feel God touching my shoulders
My life at the lake of Michigan
The Hive
it looks like FUN
It looks like learning with Mrs. Willis and Ms. Lehner
the excitement when I came here in 2024
I arrived in Chicago
in 2016
Walking in the neighborhood in 2025
I swim in Washington Park pool
The HIVE and Chicago
Chicago is fun
Chicago can take you to new places, like
arcades, parks, restaurants, and lakes
My first time at Sloomoo
we made rare slimes and had fun. On my 9th
birthday, we had a house party in Chinatown
Downtown brings music and noises
Chinatown brought new foods to me
Chicago is fun
