    Here is Bella’s poem:

     

    What I Learned from my UncleI learned from my Uncle how to be funny.  I know how to make my Mom and Dad laugh.

    I learned from my Uncle how to communicate in sign language.  I can teach my friends now.

    I learned from my Uncle how to look for pictures in the sky.  I can find me riding horses in clouds.

    I learned from my Uncle how to say kind words.  I don’t say bad words and I stay away from strangers.

    I learned from my Uncle how to decorate my room.  I have stars in my room that glow.
