Aubrie the artist and poet


Aubrie has been impressing us since she was very small with her creativity and drawing. But, about six months ago (so, I'm a tad behind here!) I was surprised when she brought her portfolio home from her Kindergarten poetry writing. I'm late in doing this, but I was just so amazed at her talent as a poet in Kindergarten that I wanted to keep these on digital record. I'm not sure if her great writing is a testament of her excellent school, or if it's just Aubrie. I scanned them all, but then realized I should probably type a few so they are more readable on the blog (the ones I didn't scan can be viewed better if you click on them first). How does she know to write metaphors like the one above?! So cool!




My Heart, by Aubrie
My heart is a great place.
You might think I'm ugly.
But inside I'm a great beauty
Almost like a clam
How you at first think it is ugly,
but when you put sand in clams it grows a pearl inside it!




She brought this artwork home from school the other day. She explained that it is an airplane in the sky that wrote "MOM" in the clouds. The rainbow is coming from the sprinklers that are on in the yard! Cute!



She explained this portrait is made out of her favorite foods (blueberries for eyes, lemons for cheeks, raspberries for mouth, etc.)

School, By Aubrie
School is the best thing in town.
It is better than the store with a crown.
We learn how to read and that's one of the needs
We learn Spanish
and sometimes I get a little tanish!

She is so perceptive! She can explain her feelings so well, it's really amazing. We can't wait to see all of your sweet kids again!
