On the first day of school in September

I  vividly can remember

Looking at all the new faces

As they wonder where their new place is.

We walk into the room ever so  quietly

Not knowing how our  first  day will be

The attendance is taken and new textbooks are viewed

It's getting more comfortable even though it's all new.

I've described our units in Science and Social Studies

Explaining that projects and experiments would be plenty

Cursive writing, poetry, and division sounded good

They seemed to be excited, as all students should.

When the students arrived home and were asked to tell

How was your first day?  They answered..."Swell".
