IF I WERE PRESIDENT.....

On this President's Day, 2009, I'd like to share my second graders' unprompted and unedited thoughts on the presidency as well as quotes from their letters to President Obama.

The letter to the president was a homework assignment, which usually includes the input of a loving parent.(I truly believe that the parent is the child's best teacher.)

"If I Were President" was a 10 minute 'quiet write'. I assisted spelling help to those who asked for it. With regard to ideas, I asked them to, "Put on your thinking caps and give it a go!" Those second graders are awesome people, eh?


Dear President Obama:


*I am so happy that you are the president of the you nited Stats of Amarica. Your doters are so cute. So is your wife.

*I hope you will help the poor. Also i hope every one will be kind to others.

*I hope you will end the war. Also I would like you to help people who have lost their jobs get new jobs.

*I hope you will be the bestest president. I hope you will enjoy living in the white house. I hope you will make great laws. Ok, thank you. (Pleas send a picture of the Whitehouse.)

*I'm very glad you won! I voted for you! I like you as a president!

*I hope that the economy gets better for this country. I hope that you will be a good president and help the people of the world.

*I think you deserve that puppy. You did a good speech. I think you are a good president.

*I hope ther no more killing and I wish the wold was clean. I hope you have a great life.

*I want you to stop the war and I want you to help the poor people.

*I want you to help people with more new places to work so they don't lose there house...and pay more money to all teachers. Thank you President Obama.

*I hope that you make new ruls to help people in need.
