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.
