Happy Habits Song (Row, Row, Row,Your Boat)

Brush, brush, brush your teeth
'Til they shine and gleam.
Up and down and in and out,
Then your smile will beam.

Wash, wash, wash your face
Every morn and night.
Comb your hair, clean your nails:
You're a sparkling sight!

Clean, clean, clean your room.
Put your toys away.
Eat good foods, get your rest.
Make new friends today!

Autumn Tapestry

Patchwork quilt of maple leaves,
Crimson and yellow.
Herringbone smoke rings curling wispily
From chimney tops.
Hemline stitching of silver brocade rain
Along city streets.
Dotted swiss gardens embroidered
In appliqued pumpkins.
Russet-blanketed hills basted
With lacy frost.
Autumn tapestry reposing
In a framework of splendor.

September

Red apples
Blue sky
Yellow buses
It's September.

Falling leaves
Rainbow crayons
Many questions
It's September.

Opening doors
Opening books
Opening hearts
It's September.

Time of wonder
Time of growing
Timeless treasures
It's September.

Welcome, children.

School Bell Magic

The school bell rings, it’s time to go,
To learn new things and help us grow.
Friends and laughter fill the air,
A brand-new journey we all share.


Little Steps

Tiny steps through classroom doors,
Big ideas begin to soar.
Every lesson, every rule,
Shapes our path through every school.


Back Again

Back to class, back to cheer,
Meeting friends we hold so dear.
With every smile and every try,
We learn to reach and touch the sky.
