Persuasive Writing by the Generous Jaguars and Rockin’ Redwoods
 
 
This spring the second graders learned to write compelling, persuasive arguments, building on their opinion writing skills from previous years. They wrote letters to parents, teachers, and others, with presentations accompanied by slideshows, posters and models. Many letters were addressed to that perceived gatekeeper of marvelous possibilities at Village, the Great and Powerful Oz — oops, we mean Principal David.
“I Am the Upstander” May 9, 2016 - 11:45am

Six poems written by students in Michele G.’s Courageous Cubs class for Pink Shirt Day. 
 
I am the upstander,
I wonder what the bully is afraid of,
I hear angry targets,
I see the bullies run of,
I want this to stop,
I am the upstander.
I pretend that when I finish this mission I will save the school,
I feel lucky to fight of bullies,
I touch the targets shoulder to make them feel better,
I worry that this will never stop,
I cry the targets are getting bullied,
I am the upstander.
“I Am the Target” May 9, 2016 - 11:45am

Seven poems written by students in Michele G.’s Courageous Cubs class for Pink Shirt Day. 
 
I am the target,
I wonder why he or she bully’s me
I hear mean words directed at me
I see the bully hurting me
I want to leave
I am the target.
I pretend I am somewhere else
I feel sad and hurt
I touch my hurt sad body
I worry I won’t get help
I cry for help and my mom
I am the target.
I understand why I am sad
I say stop
I dream I was better
I try get help
“I Am the Bystander” May 9, 2016 - 11:45am

Six poems written by students in Michele G.’s Courageous Cubs class for Pink Shirt Day. 
 
I am the bystander,
I wonder if the target is O.K
I hear bullying
I see bullying
I want no bullying
I am the bystander.
I pretend their is nothing
I feel bad
I touch my deep side
I worry the target will get hurt
I cry because i don’t know what to do
I am the bystander.
I understand the target
I say in my head i don’t know what to do
I dream i will be the target too
