Students doodled, dreamed, and read poems about wishes, things that go bump in the night, and a ‘Quiet Night Thought’ by poet Li Bai before crafting their own wonderful works.
Quiet Night Thought
by Li Bai
At the foot of my bed, moonlight
Yes, I suppose there is frost on the ground.
Lifting my head I gaze at the bright moon
Bowing my head, thinking of home.
Lesson Note: “I believe that the most important single thing beyond discipline and creativity is daring to dare.”
— Maya Angelou

Things We See
by Nora W.S. and Nevaeh C.
The night sky is a scary place

see we wish the night was
over so we could hope to see
another because with the demons
we have to fight before we see
the bright daylight.

Combination of Night Thoughts
by Felicia C.
IN a cold room, my cat cuddles by the
fllot of my bed. My eyes lead me to the light.
of other rooms, R & B whispers in my ear
from below the floor. Dishes clink due to
being washed, my head full of embarraing moments
and times I laughed. I think about when I see my
family again.
