A Student's Prayer
by Anonymous

Now I lay me down to rest.
I pray I pass tomorrow's test.
If I should die before I wake,
that's one less test
I'll have to take.

 

A - B - C - D - E - F - G

H - I - J - K - L - M - N - O - P

Q - R - S - T - U and V,

W - X - Y and Z

Now I know my A - B - C's

Next time won't you sing with me?

WHAT IS READING?

*Reading is to take letters, form words, and make sentences.

*Almost every time I read I learn a new word and its meaning.

*A silent activity, your eyes go through a page decoding the strange shapes we now know as letters into sounds that represent meanings of things, things and names.

*Reading is something that can increase your mind, and give you a great imagination.

*To read is to fill the soul with knowledge. If you're blind, to read is to see.

*Reading is a type of language. It can take you anyplace you want to go.

*To me reading is adventurous, because you learn new things.

We raise our hands to speak. We sit quietly in 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.

Kids are wonderful! Leave it to our little ones to give us a different perspective on everyday life.

The kindergarten teacher was showing her class an encyclopedia page picturing several national flags. She pointed to the American flag and asked, "What flag is this?" A little girl called out, "That's the flag of our country." "Very good," the teacher said. "And what is the name of our country?" 'Tis of thee," the girl said confidently.
