New School Year

 

New room,

New pens,

New books,

New friends.

New packs,

New year,

New class,

Let's cheer!

 

 

Friendship

-Risa Jordan-

 

A friend is a person who wishes you well,

And keeps all the secrets that you like to tell.

 

Friends share their toys and their storybooks too,

Friends can be older or younger than you.

 

Friends can be real or made up in your mind,

But they're always thoughtful and always kind.

 

Friends can live nearby or very, very far,

But your friends are your friends, wherever you are!

 

 

When You Can Read

-Bobbi Katz-

 

When you can read, then you can go

from Kalamazoo to Idaho -

Or read directions that explain

just how to build a model plane -

Or bake a cake or cook a stew -

The words will tell you what to do!

When you can read, then you can play

a brand new game the proper way -

Or get a letter from a freind

and read it to...the very end!

 

 

Apple Magic

-M. Hillbert-

 

In every single apple lies

A truly magical surprise.

Instead of slicing down, slice through

And watch the star appear for you!

 

 

Apples

-Helen H. Moore-

 

Apples, apples, what a treat,

sweet and tart and good to eat.

Apples green and apples red,

hang from branches overhead,

and when they ripen,

down they drop,

so we can taste our apple crop!
