The Birthday Dayay hay
My birthday is on Monday.Last year it was on a Sunday.
It doesn’t matter anyway,I was born on Saturday.
It’s odd how birthdays don’t just stay.They hop around from day to day.

Meet the Creepsee feet
Mr. Creep is far from sweet;He’s got three legs and smelly feet.
Mrs. Creep is the creepy queen;Her knees are blue and her hair is green.
Teeny Creep likes to peep;So he always wins at hide and seek.
The creepiest three you’ll ever meet;The creepy creeps from creepy street.

I know three little pigs,As pleasant as can be.They always say,“Thank you, may I, and please.”

The spider weaves a sticky webTo capture bugs to eat.What keeps the spider’s sticky webFrom sticking to her feet?
Spider webs are very trickyBecause not all the strands are sticky.Unlike the passing hapless fly, the spider knows
which strands are dry.Continued on next slideContinued on next slide

But if she accidentally standsUpon one of the sticky strands,She still would not get stuck, you see—Her oily body slides off free.

A Still Still Nightst stop
In the still, still night…
The starlight shone.A stag strolled by and kicked a stone.
The stone bounced up, and two sticks broke.They struck a stream; a starling woke.
Her stirrings by the stable doorMade stallions stretch and stamp the floor.They startled mice who streaked in fright…
So, was it still a still, still night?Return to 1st Grade Menu

My Bicyclest stop
One wheel, two wheels on the ground,
My feet make the pedals
go round and round,
Handle bars help me steer so straight,
Down the sidewalk, through the gate.
