Now We Are Six (by: A. A. Milne)
When I was one, I had just begun.
When I was two, I was nearly new.
When I was three, I was hardly me.
When I was four, I was not much more.
When I was five, I was just alive.
But now I am six, I'm as clever as ever.
So I think I'll be this age, now and forever!
Congratulations! (By Dr. Seuss)
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and three quarter percent guaranteed.)
Kid, you'll move mountains!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So...get on your way!

Each student who has them memorized when they return to class will:
**Knight at the Museum**
- Flyers for parents will be sent home when we track back on. The bottom portion of the flyer is a sign-up sheet for parents to sign their child up to participate in either the Literacy Cafe or to perform a musical talent in the gym.
- I encourage students to participate! If students have something from class that they want to read--or something they've written at home while off-track, parents will fill out the sign-up sheet and I'll get them on the list!
