Kay Little's second grade students wrote poems for a project, A Patchwork of Places and Poetry (2002).  Please visit her webpage to read poems about places their ancestors came from and to see their other outstanding activities.  Here's a sample:

The important thing about Ireland
is that my ancestors lived there.
It has a big castle.
The customhouse is white.
They have Irish music.
But the important thing about Ireland
is that my ancestors lived there.
