Thursday was Poem In My Pocket Day

Keep a poem in your pocket

And a picture in your head

And you;ll never feel lonely

At night when you're in bed.

The little poem will sing to you

The little picture bring to you

A dozen dreams to dance to you

At night when you're in bed.

So...

Keep a picture in your pocket

And a poem in your head

And you'll never feel lonely

At night when you're in bed.

DO MORE WATCH LESS...Hey Credit Meadows, did you know that kids your age are spending way too much time in front of screens, which means they are being less active which of course isn't good for your health.  Take the SCREEN FREE challenge from April 30th - May 6th and try other activities.  You could win a $50.00 gift certificate from Booklore.  Tracking sheets are available from your teacher or in the library.
