I spent the past two days giving two different writing assignments to my second graders. The first one I did was yesterday, and I asked my kids to write what it means to be a good friend. I got a lot of great responses, including "share your glue sticks and give a friend a pencil if they ask for one." The writing assignment I did today was to ask my kids to finish this thought, "Love is..." Here are some of the great responses I got.
I really want to use them as readings during our ceremony if my FI likes the idea. He has a great nephew who is the same age as my students, so it would be perfect if he did one of the readings. He''s quite a ham! We could ask his youngest niece (I think she''s 12) to do the other one.
These were all written by different kids. I took out their names of course.
How to be a Good Friend
To be a good friend you could play with them. Tell them how nice it is to be their friend. Sending them a letter is nice too. Play with them at recess.
To be a good friend means to play together. If you have a fight, make up. Play together as much as you can. Give them respect as they give it back. If they do something you don’t want to do, DON’T DO IT! Follow these rules as I say and you’ll have a new friend every day.
If you want to be a good friend, show that you care. Treat them right. If you want to be a good friend, tell them you want to be their friend. If you want REALLY want to be a good friend, comfort them if they are sad or mad. Make them laugh, smile, cheer, and be happy.
Love is…
Love is when you care about someone. Love is when you stay close and have hope for someone. A way to show love is by giving hugs and kisses. You can also show love by giving flowers and presents and drawing pictures for them. You could also tell them how much you love them.
Love is being a good friend. It is also being a nice person. Love is giving and sharing too.
Love is caring, sharing, and being nice. Show respect to one another. Give to one another. Have a wedding and get married. Show that you care. If you give you will receive. Be nice and love. Loving is good and kind. Love, love, love, love is good. If you care and share, other people will care and share. Love, love, love – it is nice. It is sweet and nice to love. So love, love, love. You will thank me if you do.
Love is a feeling and an emotion. Love is a word that people can say to or about others.
Without love, no one would tuck you in at night. So everyone…love is when someone cares about you.
Aren''t they cute?
