September

My School Pledge

I pledge today to do my best

in reading, math and all the rest.

I promise to obey the rules

in the class and in the school.

I'll respect myself and others, too.

I'll expect the best in all I do.

I am here to learn all I can,

to try my best and be all I am.

October

An Autumn Day

Pumpkins in the cornfields,

gold among the brown,

leaves of rust and scarlet

trembling slowly down;

birds that travel southward,

lovely time to play;

nothing is as pleasant

as an autumn day!

November

A Child's Song

I'm thankful for the sunshine bright,

for the rain and for starts at night;

I'm thankful for each flower and tree,

and all the beauty that I see.

I'm grateful for our singing birds

and for my mother's gentle words;

I'm grateful for kind friends and true;

help me to be a good friend too.

December Celebrations

Every Year at just this time,

in cold and dark December,

families around the world

all gather to remember,

with presents and with parties,

with feasting and with fun,

customs and traditions

for people old and young.

So every year around the world

in all the lands and nations,

people of all ages love

DECEMBER CELEBRATIONS.

January

Winter Worries

Oh, lucky, lucky, lucky me!

I'm lucky as a child can be.

When winter winds my ears would harm,

My fuzzy earmuffs keep them warm.

When ice and snow take little nips,

Warm mittens cover my finger tips.

My cozy coat keeps out the breeze,

My corduroys protect my knees.

But, up to now, no clothes are sold

To keep my NOSE from getting cold!

February

Snowman's Valentine

I have a jolly snowman,

The best I've ever had.

I'm giving him a valentine

that ought to make him glad.

For though he's very handsome

and sound in every part,

I noticed only yesterday

he hasn't any heart.

So quickly with my scissors

and paper red and fine

I made a fancy little heart;

my snowman's valentine!

March

Windy Word

I am the Wind

and you'd better watch out!

I can run, I can fly;

I can whistle and shout.

I can tap on your window

and howl at your door,

tug on your coat tails,

bellow and roar.

But in March I'm the loudest;

Look out for my might!

For when you're not looking

I'll steal your new kite!

April

Rainy Day

I used to hate a rainy day.

There were no outside games to play,

and even though our house was roomy

the gray rain made the inside gloomy.

Now, I don't mind the rain at all,

for when no friends come to call,

I've all the company I need.

I pick me out a book and read!

May

Flowers for Mother

I never have a special day

To give flowers to my mother;

I give them to her every day

To show how much I love her.

When I sweep the kitchen floor,

or care for baby brother,

run on errands, or make the beds,

I’m giving flowers to mother.

It’s lots of fun pretending

and to hear my mother say,

“Thank you, Dear, for all the flowers

You’ve given to me today.”
