The following are some thoughts from our class on what respect means to them.

You are showing Courage when you tell someone even if they said I will punch you if you tell.

Beth Bioxler

Respect is a way of showing people that you care about them. It's like if you have a teacher you wouldn't just say something, when the teachers are there you would respect her and raise your hand. If you have a new person in your class you would try to help her or him fit in and respect them. Just like the President respected his visitors.

Anne Lidian

One time when I was at my Grandma's house, she was sick and she told me I had to do all the chores. I didn't yell, I didn't argue, I just went to work.

T. Jonson

When I was 7 and in second grade I was always respectful and used good manners. I always did respectful things for the teacher like giving her an apple and opening the door for her.

Bill Stoudamire

Respect is when you do what your parents or your teacher tells you. Respect is doing what you are told and not arguing. For example, yesterday my Grandma told me to clean my rabbits cage and let the rabbits run. So I did not argue and did it.

Jordan Belly

I respect my teacher by doing my work, helping others when needed, raising my hand in class, and not yelling out.

Keysha Heney

I had respect for my parents when I washed the dishes and could have been playing outside. I did not hurry up. I dried the dishes and stacked them away.
