School Poems


The Miracle of The Beginning Reader
I wiggle and jiggle
And rock upon my chair.
I wiggle my loose tooth,
And I twirl a strand of hair. 

I chew on several fingers
And I sometimes suck my thumb.
I tap the reading table
Like I'd play upon a drum. 

I kick my foot with rhythm
Lose the place where I should look.
I rub my nose and clear my throat,
And sometimes drop my book. 

I look outside the window
And I look down at the floor,
I pay very close attention
When someone's at the door. 

I close my eyes and rest my head;
My teacher's heart must bleed. 
But in spite of all of this
I'm learning how to read! 


First Day
Every one has a "First Day"
when they feel sad and all alone.
It can be so scary
when you're out on your own.
Take my hankie, dry your tears.
You'll find lots of things to do 
and you'll probably make new friends.
I promise we'll be together
when the school day ends.
Here comes the teacher,
blow your nose and be brave.
Come on now wipe your eyes,
this is no way to behave.
"Well, good morning teacher.
We really must beg your pardon.
No, MOMMY doesn't always act this way.
But it's my first day of....KINDERGARTEN!"


My First Day
Elise S. Lindgren

See me skip,
See me run,
I'm going to school like everyone.

See me smile, 
See me grin,
When the bell rings, I walk in.

See me work,
See me play,
I'm in Kindergarten-
My first Day!


Kindergarten
I'm so excited kindergarten is here,
I know it will be a great year.
I'm a big kid now and I'm on my way,
To board the bus for my very first day.
My teachers are there waiting for me,
Right at the door is where they will be.
I'll make lots of friends and have some fun,
And before you know it, the day will be done.


Kindergarten Graduation
When I started Kindergarten,
I couldn't have felt smaller;
but I've been growing, growing,
and not just growing taller.

I've learned to read and learned to write,
and learned my numbers too;
and there are many other things
that I have learned to do.

Kindergarten's over now,
but I am not afraid.
Because I know I'm ready
to enter the first grade!



Back to School
Today I hurry off to school,
To work and learn and play.
I'm in a brand new grade this year.
What a happy day!
