MIDDLE SCHOOL

Today I walked into
A school so big
That in any classroom
You could hold a jig

We had so much todo
And so much to see
The only thing I hated
Were lockers, but I’ll let them be

The lockers are so thin
They gave me a big fret
Closing them is
Beyond a threat

I got lost
Of course I did
I got lost
After 6th period

Now I know this
So I’ll be careful next year
I’ll always head to class
With a well-known peer

Love it!

The first weeks of Middle School can be so overwhelming. Seems like my kids’ lockers were always on the complete opposite side of campus, from most of their classes.

I teach music to children that age, and , indeed, the first days of Middle School are QUITE intimidating!

Darling poem...A new school can be so intimidating at first.
I wish you a wonderful school year, Emily.

Seeing the world through a child’s eye is the BEST! :)
