When I look in the eyes of my friends, I can see Topaz I can see sky.The green in the gray of the sea rolling by and the dazzling Brown River in the morning.

When I look at the hands of my friends, I can see chestnut, I can see corn.The color of wheat fields or a dappled brown fawn and the rain kissed black trees in the morning.

Earth that I love, do you know how I feel? How much I love the sea shells? How much I love the stones? When I walk barefoot in the fields all alone, I sing out a song to the morning.

Lucky for me, my work is like play; I'm learning and getting stronger this way. Polite friends and teachers help me each day. Right here in my classroom!

“The Leaf Drawer” by Kelly King(To the tune of”I've been working on the railroad.”)

I have been working with the leaf drawerLearning shapes of leaves.Ovate, Obviate, ellipticalObcordate if you please.Spatulate is like a spatula.Cordate’s like a heart.

Now I know some shapes of leaves and next I’ll learn their parts!

“The Leaf Parts” by Kelly King(to the tune of “You are my sunshine”)

These are the leaf parts.The lovely leaf parts.If you look closely, then you can see.The blade, the veins and the outside margin.The petiole hooks it to the tree.

“Math Facts” by Kelly King(to the tune of “A bicycle built for two”)

Math facts, math facts, they are such fun to learn!Beads and the teen boards wait on the shelf, in turn.With number rods and spindles.Sandpaper numbers and sea shells.A count to 10 and count them again, till I'm ready for golden beads!

Units, 10 bars, 100 square, so straight.Then the thousand cube is a heavyweight!I learned the decimal system, with banking games and addition.I’ll multiply, subtract, divideWith the beautiful golden beads!

“Sensorial “by Kelly King(To the tune of “Baa, baa, black sheep.)

Pink tower, red rods, broad stair too.Shapes and colors, rough and smooth.Things to smell and bells to ring.Mystery bag’s a favorite thing.Cylinders that make it wall.Help me learn sensorial!

“Language.” By Kelly King(To the tune of the “Eensie, weensie spider.”)

The things I see each day, I wonder what they're called.Sandpaper letters, I can name them all!Sure vowels and long vowels, writing carefully.Soon I will be reading, I'm so proud of me!

“The Colors” by Kelly King(To the tune of “The rainbow song.”)

Red and yellow and pink and green,Purple and orange and blue.I can match the colors, match the colors,Come and match them too.

Red and yellow and pink and green,Purple and orange and blue.I can name the colors, name the colors. Can you name them to?

Look around your world, look around your world.There is so much to see!I can't find the colors in my classroom,Come and look with me!
