First Day of 1st Grade!

Getting up early for the first time in months
Stomach with butterflies while packing my lunch

Finger nails sparkly with pixie dust 
Trying to brush my teeth with little sister is a bust 

Hair in a braid and new bling in my ears
Going to school for a whole day is a kind of weird!

New teacher, new children, who will I know?
Better pack my Horse, Bubble Gum, just in case I’m ever alone

When I get to the playground I see old friends and new
I’m feeling more relaxed and confident too

We enter our classroom, looking all around, I find my name tag and a place to sit down

 

 

Circle time, recess, work, then lunch
I’ll sit with new first grade friends while I munch

At the end of the day Mom and Sis pick me up,

They ask how it went and I say, “It was long and I’m tired.  Can I play on the playground with Billy? We want to play Super Heros.”
