First Day of school
Monday was Ivy's first day of school. Yes, that was the day after the concert, I'm a bad mommy! I can't believe she is in third grade already. My how the time flies by. She loves it, she loves her teacher, and her friends. Actually she loves life, and is always pretty happy, so it doesn't surprise me she loves school again this year. Pictures from the first day, and the concert should be following soon. I'm waiting for them to end up on my desktop so I can post them here.In the meantime here is a cute little poem I found!
There's Nothing in My Bag Today
Today I did my math and science,
I toasted bread.
I halved and quartered.
I counted, measured, used my eyes,
and ears and head.
I added and subtracted on the way,
I used a magnet, blocks, and memory tray.
I learnt about a rainbow and how to weigh.
So please don't say, anything in your bag today?
You see I'm sharing as I play.
I learned to listen and
speak clearly when I talk,
to wait my turn, and when inside to walk.
To put my thoughts into a phrase,
to guide a crayon through a maze.
To find my name and write it down,
to do it with a smile and not a frown.
To put my pasting brush away,
So please don't say, what, nothing in your bag today?
I've learnt about a snail and a worm,
remembering how to take my turn.
Helped a friend when he was stuck,
learnt that water runs off a duck.
I looked at words from left to right,
agreed to differ, not to fight.
So please don't say, did you only play today?
