Poetry

Here's a sample poem that goes beyond showing respect at school:

How I Show Respect

I show respect for my parents by thanking them when they help me. I show respect for my teachers by not yakking with my friends when they are teaching. I show respect for my friends by not making fun of them. I show respect for myself by doing the best job I can at school.

Poetry

A Friend is a Treasure

A friend is someone we turn to,

when our spirits need a lift.

A friend is someone we treasure,

for our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives,

with beauty, joy and grace.

And make the world we live in,

a better and happier place.
