Elementary Reflections

Happy MLK Jr Day! 

I am off work today, are you?
Hope your work day went awesome if you had to work! 

Here's some childhood perspective on dreams for our world that I thought i would share with you! 

The title says: 
My Dream for the World is...
(I have blocked out my kiddos names to protect their privacy!) 

Here's what these shots say (in case its too small!)
...to make everything look nice
...for everyone to make peace and have love.*
...to make everyone happy. 
...that homeless people would have homes, food, and free stuff. 
...to give people everything they want. 
...to help people be safe. 
...that homeless people would have food.
... to give money to homeless people. 
...that everyone would have mashed potatoes to eat. *
...that people would not hate, but only love. *
...that everybody would have somebody who cares about them instead of hate. 
...that everybody should care about everyone.
...that everyone would not be mean and stop killing. *
...that everyone would have houses or apartments for free. 
* = ones that i really loved hearing from my students! 

Its amazing what kids have to say about the problems in our world!

It's also a really big day for this BLOG!

  11. If little kiddos can come up with a list this great, and we can't remember these little things that make a difference... then we've got some work to do as adults!! Love to read these dreams.. especially about love and hate!

    Happy MLK Day! xo, Bev

  16. This is a cute activity! I used to teach preschool & we did activities like this all the time, I always loved hearing the kids responses. But, I don't teach anymore because I went to law school [I was teaching while working on my BA]. What age group do you teach?

    Congrats on being featured!! Have a great day :)

  19. Is there ever a day off for an author? I don't think so. Even when I plan for a day off, I end up sneaking back to my computer to write something, or posting it on my ipad for later use. Happy SITS day!

  20. Congratulations on your SITS day. I hope it's a fabulous day for you!

    And I think your student is absolutely correct -- everyone should have mashed potatoes to eat. Yum!

  21. Just stopped by from SITS! I love the one that read: "everyone would stop being mean and killing and everyone should care for each other.'Children are so innocent and untainted. If only we would all model after them.
