What does love mean to me?
Fourth graders in " Ms•
Arredondo's class at Central El-
ementary School spent some time
this week exploring the word
"love" and what it means to them.
Following are their responses.
Breanne Bivens
Love means if there wasn't
love there wouldn't be bff's and
moms and dads, there wouldn't
be your favorite teams like the
Cowboys! You wouldn't like your
grades you get.

Amazon describes the new

is a searingly honest account of
the aftermath of his (Connors')
brother's shocking death, explor-
ing both the pathos and the un-
likely humor of a life unmoored
by loss .... this is
the story of a
man paying trib-
ute to the dead
by uncon-
sciously willing
himself into all
the wrong
places.., this is a
powerful look
back at wayward
years--and a re-
demptive story
about finding one's rightful home
in the world."
Connors lives and writes in
Silver City and in the Aldo
Leopold Wilderness. In the award

It means sticking up for each
other, being truthful and being by
each other's side no matter what.
Preston Miller
Love means I love my fam-
ily, my house and most of all, my
teacher Ms. A+++. She is awe-
some !
Calissa Ramirez
Love means to me that you
have an emotion that burns with
passion for loved ones such as
family members. Another type of
love is whenever you meet oth-
ers to become family. The last
kind of love is marriage vhen two
souls join together for their whole
lives.
Dominick Laguna
What love means to me is
like father and son. When I think
of love is like room and dad. What
I think love is that like my mom,
I love my morn.
Gabriela Silvas
Love means fiugs and when
you have clothes on your body,
running water, and you have food
on the table.
Dayton Barka
Love means to hug and kiss
my morn, say i love you from the
heart...straight from the heart.
Daniel Arvizo
Love means to me that love
is caring and being kind to
people. The most important one,
is being nice to your best
friends...even people who you
don't like.
Emma Kemp
Love means to me that love
is to care and enjoy someone's
time together. Love is to make
sure if they fall you will pick th6m
up, and love is to make sure that
you will always be there for them
and be nice not to be mean to
them. When I say this I mean to
my morn and the rest of my fam-
ily. Love me...
Melissa Lopez
Love means to me is, that you
always have the sign of love.

Always...because family time is
loving time.

in health and sickness. Third, I

ognized and be a someone. I
love my dream because danc-
ing and singing makes me feel
like " I can do anything!"

when someone says "I love
you". Next, it means to me is
when someone gives you a hug.
Also, love means to me is when
someone takes care of you when
you are sick. That is what love
means to me.
