Second Grade Wishes

This past week we have worked on ALL ABOUT ME posters. One section at the bottom has a place for students to express one "wish" that they have. As I demonstrated and modeled what the paper should look like, I wrote, "I hope all my children (Both at school and home) attend college." I thought that I was quite insightful to illicit deep thoughts for wishes from students.

Then I looked at the papers.

Then I looked at the definition of wish.

hope for; have a wish; "I wish I could go home now"

Then I thought about it in 2nd grade terms. (Something that Mom or Dad probably had said no to several times before)

Here are a few of the wishes....

I wish I could go to McDonald's everyday.

I wish I had a pet hamster.

I wish I lived at Disneyland.

I wish for a puppy that is a cockapoo.

I wish I had a hot tub.

I wish I had a baby sister.  (Yes, yes, I am giggling over this one.)

I wish I could grow up and drive a bus because I would get to see everyone that likes school.

I wish I had a horse.

I wish I was a senior.


Ok, so those are some of the 2nd grade wishes. Yes, I am ending my day at school with a smile. :)
