Poem from Orientation.....

The first day of school!

Unknown Author

I used to be little, but not any more.
Tomorrow I'll get up and walk out the door.
I'm going to school--it's time for me.
It's great to be big, but I'm scared as can be.

My tummy's in knots. Do you want to know why?
I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, I'll cry.
When Dad leaves the school and I'm there all alone,
I'm thinking that maybe, I'll want to go back home.

BUT WAIT--Mommy said I'll play lots of new games,
and meet lots of friends--I can learn all their names.
The first day of school, oh there's so much to do!
There's painting and books and a big playground too!

I used to be little, but not any more.
Tomorrow I'll get up and walk out the door.
I'm going to school--it's my first day, you see.
IT'S GREAT TO BE BIG!
I'M GLAD TO BE ME!
