Ways to Spread Peace

We had an awesome discussion today after we reread the books To Be A Kid and A Little Peace. Since Friday is poetry day in our classroom, we chose to respond to the books by either writing a poem about their culture or writing a poem about ways they could spread peace. A few friends chose to share their poems with the class and they were so fantastic we decided we had  to share them with you! Enjoy!

A Peaceful Place for Me

by Sarayu

A peaceful place for me is...

No homeless people

No sad homes

That's my peaceful world.

Having at least 3 good friends,

Sharing things

Be kind

Make things

That's my peaceful world.

Everything that I want is $5.00 and a need is free.

That's my peaceful world.

One voice only

Smile at least 3 times

Build things together 

That's my peaceful world.

Spread Peace

by: Bennett

Smile, laugh, hi!

Don't pollute, Be nice, Be happy!

Are you ok? Play! Share!

Make friends, CARES & FACTS!

Act like a kid, Be silly, Be cool!

Peace

by: Carter

Peace is playing and having fun

Smiles are best

So is lending a hand and meditation

Peace is making friends

And being weird.

And saying hello

And a helping hand.

A Big Piece of Peace

by: Olivia

It's like when a child thinks you've given them

a chocolate covered vanilla ice cream cone

when you've only given them the cone.

They smile and talk to you with love 

Even when you two are along.

A big piece of peace.

When you're happy and work hard,

Have a playdate,

Clean up the world, 

And share cultures. Well...

That's a big piece of peace.

Peace

Bringing peace to the world is

work but it brings happiness

Take the animals, find new homes

and keep them safe.

To keep the world how it is

You take care of it.

Don't put trash on it.

To have the space and

Sunny days you must be

thoughtful to keep the cars away.

Use your bike or your trike

to go where you want.

To bring joy you must

stay and have the fun the day brings today

Be kind to nature. I love it too.

Bring peace to the world.

We might have madness.

Let's keep that away

So do things in the world.

If you always use cars we could lose everything

Like our air, our happiness,

We could die and we don't want that so,

bring peace to the world. 

Yes.

Bring peace to the world.
