Together is……Poems for Peace

This will be the second year in a row that our class will enter the Honolulu Star Advertiser Keiki Day Writing Contest.  This contest is done in partnership with PACT (Parents and Children Together), a family service agency.  Last year, we were honored to have one of our classmates win the 3rd Grade writing division.  This year’s writing contest theme is “Together”.  We were really inspired to write what the word together meant to us.  Here are some poems that we wrote.  -Mrs. V

Making a great team

Making someone else special

Spending time with dad

One whole

Together with my Dad

By: Julien P.

Together is spending time with your dad

He warms me up in baseball

He sticks with me to the end

He helps me build cars and toys

He quizzes me so I can do better

He plays with me outside

He’s the best dad you could dream of

No matter what even if I done something bad he will still love me

He bikes with me to baseball

He plays with me in the park

I would risk my life for him

Together is….

Treating people the way you want to be treated

Helping those who need help

Sharing with others

Humble and not rude

Not judging people by how they look

Paying attention

Not greedy about things

Being with all my family members

Playing with my soccer teammates

Putting scattered pieces together into one whole

Each stitch in a quilt

Putting family first before you
