If I was President, I would...

Part of our lesson today was about the Presidents job and if it would be easy or hard to be the President. We all agreed it would be a hard job. We talked about making laws and making good choices for our country. I told them if I was President I would make sure teachers got paid more money. (of course, you could have guessed that one) I then asked the kids "What would you do if you were the President?" They came up with the most amazing thoughts and ideas about what they would do as President. As I wrote down their thoughts I found myself in awe over their amazing little brains! I was so proud of their drawing and their ideas I took them around to show other teachers. I even took them into the principle for him to see what wonderful kindergarten kids he has in our school. Everyone got a good laugh at some of them and tears over others. I can't wait to show them to their parents during conferences!

If I was President of the United States, I would...

C said "help people stop smoking."

J said "make people who rob banks go to jail."
In his picture he had two people. I asked him "who the people were." J said "it is me and my wife." I said "your wife?" J said "Yes my wife. If you are President you have to have a wife." I was a little confused about were he got that from. Then I realized every picture I was showing that day was of President Obama and his wife, Joe Bidden and his wife, and President Bush and his wife. Makes sense!

M said "help keep our world clean."

J said " take of of business in the White House."

D said "keep the White House clean."

Several kids said "give people money who need it."

A said "Tell people to stop eating animals."
I wish you could see her picture. She had a horse with a really scared face. At first I though it was the Presidents desk. She said "no! It's a horse and he is scared because he doesn't want to be dinner!"

D said "I would help people find what they need at Wal-Mart."

M said "help people with cancer."

A said "take care of kids."

These were just the few I could remember. I'll post more when I look at them again at school.
