In going through old files, something I can do sitting down, I came across these thoughts from a group of sixth graders responding to the prompt, “If I could travel in time…”
I would explore the land of the dinosaurs.
I’d go back to Camelot. I’d ride a unicorn.
I’d go back to Medieval times and go on adventures.
I’d go back to the Civil War.
I’d like to meet “Blood and Guts” Patton
I would go far back and meet my great, great, great grandparents.
I’d go back and see my great grandmother who was full-blooded Indian.
I would see what my mom and dad were like in school.
I’d go into the future and see what my life would be.
I’d fly a spaceship.
I would look at all the strange suits and costumes.
I’d see what my kids would look like.
I would go back and invent stuff that would happen in the future.
I’d go into the future and SALUTE the past!
I would change the world so that there would be eternal life forever.
I would have Jesus shake my hand.
I would reach back and shake hands with God.

There is a lovely core of optimism running through all these, isn’t there? Thank you for sharing them, Rae:)
