FDR

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Franklin Delano Roosevelt  (or FDR) was the 32^nd President of the United States of America. In his run for president  FDR had a disease called polio which disabled him. He wanted to get the photographers to talk pictures of him only while he was sitting down. He wanted to keep polio a secret.  He had a wife named Eleanor.  She was with them the whole way through polio. Warm Springs is where he got his treatments, and took his first steps. Warm Springs is a center to help people with disorders.  He also made the new deal. It was for young men to work. I think his mom and his wife shaped him. His mom shaped him by giving him advice in tough situations. His wife shaped him by being there when he needed help and she always supported him in his elections. FDR was a great man and he will always will be remembered for what he has done for this country. 

The Corkwood

Living on the Flint River

Growing very slowly like some other plants

So small like a bean

Rare like a Red Wolf

Green like emeralds

Brown like rich soil

It can be transformed into medicine

To help us

Survive

The corkwood tree

Is a tree

Which people who are lazy

Step on

Or even demolish

But me

I save it

And so will you

Someday
