-         READ TO ME

Read to me riddles and read to me rhymes,

Read to me stories of magical times.

Read to me tales about castles and kings,

Read to me stories of fabulous things.

Read to me pirates and read to me knights,

Read to me dragons and dragon-book fights.

Read to me spaceships and cowboys and then,

When you are finished, please read them again!

We need friends

EVERYWHERE!

I LIKE TO GO TO SCHOOL

  (tune: Farmer in the dell)

          I like to go to school,

          I like to go to school,

          Heigh-ho-the-derry-oh,

          I like to go to school.

          I like to sing new songs,

          I like to sing new songs,

          Heigh-ho-the-derry-oh,

          I like to sing new songs.

          I like to play with friends,

          I like to play with friends,

          Heigh-ho-the-derry-oh,

          I like to play with friends!

We raise our hands to speak.

We work quietly at our seats.

We use voices soft and sweet.

We keep our places tidy and neat.

We are helpful, friendly, and fair.

We take turns and willingly share.

Today I pledge to be kind,

To use the nicest words I can find.

Today I pledge to try and share,

To wait my turn and to be fair!

I wondered and I wondered,

When I could go to school.

They said I wasn’t old enough,

according to the rule.

I waited and I waited,

I was patient as could be.

And now I’m all excited…

It’s time for school for me!

Good morning to the bus

Good morning to the school

Good morning to the pencils and the pens.

Good morning to the teacher

Good morning to the kids

Good morning to learning with my friends!
