Mini Project for the 5th-6th Grades by Victoria Malchenko and Marella Simon Neot Ashkelon School

Respect is very important at home, at school, and everywhere you go Respect is very important at home, at school, and everywhere you go. When you show respect, you show that you care for other people's feelings or that you care for belongings, buildings, streets, and nature.

To show how much respect you have for people and things, try writing a fun respect poem. The easiest way to do this is to make simple list of what it means to be respectful at school and at home.

Take these lines, finish them and put them together in a poem. I show respect for my parents by... I show respect for my teacher by… I show respect for my friends by... I show respect for my classmates by... I show respect for myself by …

Here's a sample poem showing respect at school: How I Show Respect I show respect for my parents by thanking them when they help me. I show respect for my teachers by not talking with my friends when they are teaching. I show respect for my friends by not making fun of them. I show respect for myself by doing the best job I can at school.
