"Back to School" is a Great Subject!

© Arden Davidson

My first day of school, I learned all the rules, No talking No fighting No running No chewing No swearing No humming Keep my diary up-to-date, Be on time - never late! So much to remember my head's in a whirr.... Oh! Never forget to call teacher, "Sir"!

- R.McCullough

The above is just one example of the many kids poems and stories you can find throughout the internet that deal with the timely subject of "back to school". I found this particular poem at Bangor Grammar's Poetry and Literature at http://schoolsite.edex.net.uk/376/Artist... This page contains several cute poems written by schoolage children.

There is a similar page containing poetry by kids, called "School Poems" at http://www.baddogs.com/wtmoore/school.htm Here is a sample of what you'll find there...

SCHOOL By Marvin

School, School, It is full, But it is cool, We don't have a pool, It would be cool if we had a pool, We do have a golden rule, It is really cool!

In addition, Cyber Pre-School at http://www.americatakingaction.com/cyber... offers a collection of internet rhymes and poems to delight your pre-school youngsters! This site includes a chat room, and a section for "poems by parents".

Got some extra money to spend? Check out http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0... to purchase and read about the book "Lunch Money and Other Poems About School" by Carol Diggory Shields. The cost is $12.00 but you can get quite a bit of information about the book before committing to buy it.
