School Time

Author: Just Simply Write

Vacation is over
Going back to school
Another year of learning
And following rules!

Do your best
Work as hard as you can
The lessons you learn
Are part of a plan!

I hope you meet
New friends too
Treat them with respect
I'm talking to "YOU!"

Respect is a word
You need to show
Learn its meaning
You need to know!

Now it's time
For reading and writing
Science and math
Social Studies... that's exciting!

I won't forget
Music, gym, and art
Library and computers
Your favorite part!

First you'll be reading
Biographies
Fiction and nonfiction
And mysteries!

When you're reading
Comprehend
Do you understand?
From beginning to end!

Any chance you get
I think it's clever
Read when you're home
Your main endeavor!

Next you'll be writing
Poetry and letters
Expository and persuasive
Keep writing to get better!

Many students say
"It's time for writing
Help me with ideas
Make my story more exciting!"

When it's time
Begin to plan
Organize ideas
If you can!

Just like reading
Write every day
It will get easy
You'll find a way!

Math is a subject
That students enjoy
Addition and subtraction
Money… Oh boy!

Students do struggle
When working with numbers
Learning basic facts
They seem to stumble!

All I have to say
Is practice, practice… please?
Your classroom teacher
Will teach you strategies!

Last comes science
And social studies
Learn these subjects
With your buddies!

Do you like animals?
Magnets and friends
Holidays and community
I'm near the end!

After you learn
Have some fun
Create in art
Have recess in the sun!

Sing songs in music
Use your voice
Move your body
Make some noise!

Exercise in gym
Play basketball
Get in shape
Be careful... don't fall!

Time for library
Choose a book
Share with your parents
Take a look!

Last the computer
Practice new skills
Begin to type
I know you will!

Your day is over
Let's make it clear
School is for learning
Enjoy your school year!
