April
April can be
cold and blowy,
April can be
warm.
We can have
an April heat wave
Or an April
storm.

Rainy Day
I used to hate a rainy day
There were no outside games to play,
And even though our house was roomy,
The gray rain made the inside gloomy.
Now, I don't mind the rain at all,
For when no friends come to call,
I've all the company I need
I pick me out a book- and read!

April Fool's Day
The first of
April, some do say
Is set aside for April Fool's Day
But why the people call it so
Nor I nor they themselves do know.

JELLY BEAN PRAYER
RED is for the blood He gave
GREEN is for the grass He made
YELLOW is for the sun so bright
ORANGE is for the edge of night
BLACK is for the sins we made
WHITE is for the grace He gave
PURPLE is for His hours of sorrow
PINK is for our new tomorrow
A bagful of jelly beans
Colorful and sweet
Is a prayer, a promise
and an Easter treat!
 PROMISE
Every year
After winter goes
Spring comes
To remind us that
Eternal life is
Really possible.
-Mrs. Kenneth Carpenter

Mud Puddle Talk
A splish a splash,
A splish a splash,
A puddle a puddle
A jump and a smash.
A slip and a slop
A drip and a drop
A pool and a puddle
A run and a hop.
A wet soaking
sock-
It's mud puddle talk.
A thump a glump
A rainy day walk.
-Jennifer Jesseph

I’m A Little Turtle
Tune: I’m A Little Teapot
I’m a little
turtle with a shell
I have four
legs, a head, and tail,
When I get so
scared I want to hide,
I pull my
legs and head inside

Little
Duck
Tune: Yankee Doodle
Once there was a little duck
Who lived down by the lake,
His mother had to quack for him
‘Cause he was always late,
Quack (7 times)
Hurry don’t be late!
Quack (7 times)
Don’t make your mother wait.

Recycle
Tune: Ten In A Bed
A can in the
bin
And another
went in.
Recycle! Recycle!
We all
recycled and added a can.
There were
two in the bin
And another
went in.
Recycle! Recycle!
(Continue
till you get to five)

Working On Trash
Tune: I’ve Been Working On the Railroad
We’ve been
working on recycling.
All the trash
we can.
We’ve been
working on recycling
It’s a simple
plan.
Separate your
glass and paper,
Separate your
plastic and tin.
Take the
trash you’ve recycled
To your
recycling bin!

Earth Pledge
No job is too big,
No action too small
For the care of this earth,
Is the task of us all.
(We learn
this pledge and sign
a banner
saying we will take
care of God’s
earth. They each
receive an
earth badge.)

something they do not like seeing happen to our earth. Each page ends with OH NO! Example…I see people littering. OH
NO! I do the last page of the
book. It says, but we are learning to
take care of the earth.
OH YES!

Under The Big Top
Under
the Big Top, what will I see?
Look there's an elephant smiling at me.
Behind the elephant, what will I see?
Look there's a bear dancing for me.
Behind the bear, what will I see?
Look a wild lion is roaring at me.
Behind the lion, what will I see?
A little seal doing tricks for me.

Carl The Clown
My name, boys and girls, is Carl the Clown
I wear my hats all over town.
Each one has its own color name,
Which you can learn if you play my game.
On, here's a hat, and it is red
It fits so nicely on my head.
Now when I wear my hat of yellow,
I'm told I'm quite a dandy fellow.
I hope you like my hat of blue.
I'll put it on now, just for you.
My purple hat is just for good.
I'd wear it always if I could.
I wear a white hat on a sunny day.
It looks quite nice, my friends all say.
I put on my green hat to visit the park,
But I take it off when it gets dark.
And when it's dark, I put on brown
This hat is for a sleepy clown.
