It's Back to School Time Again!

© Arden Davidson

Summer's over; time to put away the lemonade pitchers and break out the lunch bags. So, staying with the spirit of the season, I have selected some "back to school" poems that I have discovered around the internet...as well as a lot of great "back to school" sites that contain tons of fun activities and ideas!

A Circle of Friends

We've joined together as classmates as the new year begins... A year full of learning while we become friends. We'll share and be kind as we work and play. And our friendship will grow with each passing day.

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!

Backpack

On my back a pack I carry In it, all my treasures. It's what I need So I can be One class higher!

Crayons, ruler, scissors too, And yes a little Elmer's glue Paper, pencils, in my bag... Wonder what made mom so sad?

Trapper keeper, nice and neat Will it really stay this clean?

On my back a pack I carry In it, all my treasures!

Today I'll be Just watch and see One class higher!
