The First day of school

I’ve got a brand new lunchbox.

My shoes are shiny clean.

I’ve got a cool, new book bag

And a pencil box that’s green.

 

But I don’t know my teacher,

Or where my desk will be.

I don’t know if I’ll like the kide,

Or if they’ll play with me.

 

I peek inside my classroom.

I stand there for a while.

My teacher’s tall and kind of loud,

But has a great big smile.

 

And, best of all, she,s got  my

Favourite  book upon the shelf!

I kiss my mother at the door

 And walk in by myself.
