First Day of School

For my grandson’s first day of school – via homeschooling

The first day of school,
Oh! How exciting!
So much to learn,
Reading and writing.

Other things you’ll learn;
Places on a map.
What is a fraction?
Definitions of a cap.

Science and history
All so new.
What do you get
When you mix green & blue?

Be wise with your time,
Wisdom takes years.
Some you’ll learn quickly,
Some study brings tears.

So listen and learn.
Education begins
As you learn each day
On needles and pins.

But in the end
When the day is through
You’ll know each day
Was tailored for you.

 Reviews of "First Day of School"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on August 24, 2014
A sweet poem that your grandson and his parents will cherish for a very long time.

Unfortunately, home schooling does not provide for the rough-and-tumble playground interaction (good and bad) and socialization that so many children need to be able to tolerate differences among people in their lives.
