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 kids,
Or if they’ll play with me.
I peep 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
Favorite book upon the shelf!
I kiss my mother at the door
And walk in by myself.
