Tree Book

 

My LA class worked on a very cool project that we just finished and the project was making tree books. We made these because we will be displaying them in an art gallery! The way we made these books were we screen printed poems that we had written on to cardboard pieces for the base of the tree then we found remnants of plants and cool looking leaves and put paint on them and the plants left cool designs on the paper. Then we cut out the base shapes of the cardboard into tree shapes. We then cut out and collaged our paper that had the plant designs on it. Lastly we put envelopes on the cutout and stuck more poems in the envelopes, and the person that helped us create these books was named Ms. Gignoux she is an artist and here is her website https://gignouxart.com/. Making this book was very fun and allowed us to open up our minds and be creative that is why I liked this project.

MY LIFE LIST 5 OF GOALS FOR THE WORLD (IN A PARAGRAPH)

 

This is my life list of goals for the world. My first world goal is stopping global warming. Global warming has affected the world in so many bad ways and I think that it needs to stop. My second goal for the world is to stop racism. Racism has been happening a lot lately and it is very rude and horrible to whoever the racism is affecting. My third world goal is going to be solving the problem of air pollution. Air pollution needs to stop because it is killing so many animals and also humans. Air pollution can shorten a human’s life and also give them certain respiratory diseases like asthma. My next goal for the world would probably be to stop income inequality because it is a big deal and everyone deserves the same amount of income depending on their job. My last goal for the world would probably be to protect the wildlife a bit better because there have been a lot of wildfires and other things going on in the world’s forests that need to be stopped

SALUTE TO MY ROOTS! 

By: Justice Freelon

 

The impact my mom has had on my life is amazing! I don’t know where I would be right now without her. I love her so much. She does so many great things for me, she buys me things, helps me with problems, makes me laugh, supports me, makes me food, and so much more! She is so kind and helpful and always there for me. She also always gives great advice. She teaches me a lot of important life lessons and things that I will use for the rest of my life. I hope I can become as helpful, great, and as nice as my mom when I grow up.

 

I love my dad. He has impacted my life in many ways. He is one of the most entertaining people I know. He is a great cook and he watches anime with me. He makes me laugh and he goes on adventures in the woods with me (and my sister). He is part of so many things in my life that I can’t even list them all! He’s also a really cool person. He is a very talented musician, has a band and he makes great music. My dad also has Tiktok and he hosts a beat making lab for teens. He also created an event called a “Cypher” which happens every Friday (it’s a rap circle). My dad is also part of the Durham city council! I just hope I can grow up to be as successful as him.

 

Another person who is important to me is my grandmother. My grandma impacts my life in so many great ways! Some of the ways she impacts my life is the way she helps us in so many different ways. She makes great food for our family (she’s a really good cook), she buys me things, and she drives us places that we need to be. A bonus is that she’s also very funny and makes us laugh. I also appreciate the help she gives us with homework and her advice is always the best. She lives really close by so we go to her house a lot. I love my nana so much because she’s very productive and always has something going on. We sometimes go to her house for parties or celebrations. This year for Easter she cooked a huge meal and we did an egg hunt! I hope I grow up to be as kind and fun to be around as my nana is.

 

My grandpa impacts my life in many ways. He makes me laugh almost every time I see him and he’s also very smart. He teaches me important life lessons like to always plan ahead and stay organized. He’s very wise and he is very smart. He helps me with my homework and it seems like he knows everything! He used to be a lawyer so he’s good at solving problems. He’s also really chill and listens to cool music. I hope one day I can be as successful and as funny as him.
