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

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….

Helpful
Honest
Respectful
Without one piece the whole thing won’t work
Working together
Putting others before you
Taking care of others
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
Together

Meeting new people
Playing with my brother
Include everyone
Not thinking you’re the best
Help everyone
Loving my family
Being with all my family members
Playing with my soccer teammates
Putting scattered pieces together into one whole
Each stitch in a quilt
Together

Helping your family
You can change the world
Playing with each other
Spending time with my brother Ky
Eating lunch at Shimazu‘s
Laughing with each other
Watching your family
Believing all things like hope
Love in your heart
Having a dream
Putting all your parts to do one thing
Making people healthy
One whole of your part
Trust your heart
Asking questions
Putting family first before you
Together is……….

A special time to be with my family
Collaboration with a team
Playing basketball with my friends and family
Putting legos together
Building a house with my family
A school of fish
A flock of birds
Building a car engine with my dad
Playing football with my team
Building a puzzle together
Hiking with your family or friends
Together is……….

Respecting each other
Seeing the best in everyone
It doesn’t matter what’s on the outside it just matters what’s on the inside
Keep moving forward
