This was the beginning sentence for my children's writing assignment in their journals this morning. I thought it was a very appropriate one for Election Day 2012. Here are my children's responses to this:
Logan, 5th grade-
"What our country really needs is a good leader. Our country needs God. Our country needs to be a Godly country. Our country needs revival. Our country needs lots of love."
Jamison, 4th grade-
"What our country really needs is God. I say it is not a Godly country. It used to be a Godly country but now it has wicked leaders. Our country needs a revivil. Our country needs Godly leaders. It needs help from God."
Annika, 1st grade-
"What our country really needs is God. God could help so that the people that don't love God could come to Him. Our country also needs love. Love would change people's hearts. Love would heal people's hurts."
What can I add to this? Nothing more needs to be said.
Your first grader got right to the point as well as the boys!
ReplyDeleteYour kids have been taught well, and they're entirely correct. :)
