Poems Just For Us!
With Cross-Curriculum Activities

When You Can Read

When you can read, then you can go
from Kalamazoo to Idaho--
Or read directions that explain
just how to build a model plane--
Or bake a cake or cook a stew--
The words will tell you what to do!
When you can read, then you can play
a brand new game the proper way--
Or get a letter from a friend
and read it...to the very end!

Cat Kisses

Sandpaper kisses
on a cheek or a chin--
that is the way
for a day to begin!

Sandpaper kisses--
a cuddle, a purr.
I have an alarm clock
that's covered with fur.
