Welcome to the 2nd Grade Thursday Sweet Treat project! We are so happy to have you here!!
Allow me to introduce these talented 2nd graders :)
This is the first of a two part series that will be unveiled today. Artists from around the globe gathered together to take part in an incredible educational art project with an amazing group of 2nd graders led by an equally amazing teacher, Ms. Regan.
Each child was invited to write a poem based upon a theme chosen by the artists and writers. The poems were to begin with the phrase, “I Am...” Once the theme was announced the students got to work.
When the students finished the first draft of their poems, the artists and writers reviewed the work and provided valuable feedback. Then, with the help of Ms. Regan, the students wrote and decorated their final poems.
That was the first part of the project. The second which will be unveiled this afternoon includes original artwork and poetry created by the artists and writers. You see, each artist was invited to write their own “I Am..” poem and then bring an aspect of a student's work to life. Please join me in celebrating a project that turned an online group of students and artists into a small global community creating beautiful works of art full of hope and joy.
Allow me to present the work of this delightful, talented, creative, amazing group of 2nd graders. They are so inspiring! Their work will fill you with happiness and make you want to create poetry and artwork of your own.

Hi! I tried to leave a comment earlier, but I think it didn't go through.
I just wanted to tell ALL the kids this: you are all amazing! I felt your creativity, happiness and pride in every work I saw here... in the poems and the illustrations. I really hope you all saw how much fun creating things and writing can be, and that you'll all keep trying.
I loved your "thank you" sign to us--and thank YOU for letting us be a part of your class for a few days.
This is precious!
To all of the students who are in Ms. Regan's class, I think you are such talented, creative people. Look at the work you created...it's beautiful because it paints the most vivid pictures in the mind...it's beautiful because it's you...your imagination. Thank you for sharing your words and your art...you inspired us all!!!!!
To all who participated and gave feedback and created, thank you for sharing your talent, for passing along valuable advice and for helping to make these students stronger writers and artists. Thank you for working so hard to share your vision and share what each poet here inspired you to create.
