The ABCs of my first and second graders (#sol24 Day 5/31)

A if for Awesome, which all 33 of my students Are.

B is for Brilliant – we hold a high Bar.

C is for Coughs, ‘Cause they’re always so sick.

D is for Dozens of books – their book boxes are THICK.

E is for Each and Every hug that I get.

F is for Farts – better hope they’re not wet.

G is for Germs that make us stay home in bed.

H is for Hand sanitizer. Can’t they just bathe in it, instead?

I is for Interests – boy, these kids sure have lots.

J is for Joy, which fuels most of their thoughts.

K is for Kristina, of course! Not a Koala or a Kangaroo.

L is for Laugh, which we all Love to do.

M is for our March Madness class book bracket to come.

N is for NOT stopping writing, even after work time is done.

O is for OH MY GOD DID I JUST HEAR WHAT I THINK THAT I HEARD?!

P is for Post-its, which capture every naughty word.

Q is for Quiet – a magical notion, nonexistent at lunch.

R is for Reading, which they love a whole bunch.

S is for Secret Stories, my phonics Skeleton key.

T is for Terrific, as their spelling is growing to be.

U is for Uncertainty as to why that shoelace is soggy.

V is for my brain being Very, VERY foggy.

W is for Wonder and Wisdom and Wit.

X is rarely represented properly on an alphabet picture chart, so maybe go fiX it.

Y is for You, I’m so grateful You’re here.

Z is for Moose…

(Wait, no, that’s the title of a favorite book. Let me try again.)

Z is for kaZillion, which is the number of years that I would probably teach at my special magical school but since that sounds like a Zany and Zippy number, I’ll celebrate my twenty-one years with great cheer.

Ta-da!!

🎉

(Whew!)
