I play

I play

I play games with my friends. I jump, I run, I climb, I slide. I laugh.
I shout. It feels so good!

Once in a while I like to play by myself. I play with my jigsaw puzzle.
I read a book. I make things. I even make up rhymes and draw pictures
that tell about the things I do when I play.

Fun

Fun is being wet, Or having a pet. Fun is a tool, Or staying home from
school.

Fun is a game,

Or finding friends’ marks the same. Fun is laughing with glee, Or else
climbing a tree.

Fun is a cake

That your mother had to make.

Fun is a park;

Fun is a lark.

Fun can be lots of things, Especially spring.

So don’t be sad;

Be GLAD.

Snowball

I had a little snowball, It was so round and white.

I made it out of paper

So I could keep it overnight.

My Boat Ker-plunk! It sunk.

Bubble-bubble, I’m in trouble!

My Kite

I flew my kite in the breeze. And it went over the trees.

I held my kite

And it went way up in its flight.
