“You Can Dream:” Just Ask Shoesmith 4th Graders!

During our 4th session together, 4th graders at Shoesmith Elementary poured their hearts and minds into expressing  their fantastic daydreams, their fearsome nightmares, and their dreams for themselves and our future.
The title of this post is borrowed from the title of Thaddeus H.2’s poem. Thank you, Thaddeus!

You Can Dream
Thaddeus H. 2

I dream that I live in a world with mysterious creatures
I dream that I can fly
I dream that I can live under water
I dream of there being another world on top of the clouds
I dream of being able to have some of the space on the ground
I dream of being able to go to the future
I dream of being able to walk on walls
I dream of living in space
I dream of seeing the galaxies
I dream of being a fox or a wolf

 

My Dreams
Caleb C.

I dream of being chased by Sonic.exe.
I save the Grinch.
I dream of sleeping within my dream.
I can be faster than Sonic the Hedgehog.
I dream of looking in Santa’s workshop.
I dream of having every toy I want.
I dream of the world being made of candy.
I dream of everyone looking like a pickle.
I dream of seeing the Grinch stealing Christmas.
I dream of being Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Jayden C.

I miss the times we could be free to do what we want outside
If anything can get better I wish it could now
I wanna be free of hiding indoors because of a virus
I wanna explore and go back to universal studios
And I want to be free to play with my friends and stop doing online schooling
I want to be with my family to go outside and find new things

 

Kaden D.

I dream of being hit by a car
of having no school
of drowning
of having all consoles
I dream of the world not ending
of seeing a lion out in my back yard
of my uncle hugging me
of me running down a building without dying
of me seeing spongebob

 

Larrion J.

I dream I’m a king
I dream I’m in the sky
I dream I will run my own business
I dream I have flying cars
I dream I will have a family in the future
I dream I am an artist
I dream I have a million of dollars
I dream I will have everything I want
I dream that there is no school tomorrow.
