Start the Day with a Smile

This is the way we start the day,
Start the day, start the day
This is the way we start the day,
So early in the morning.

First we smile and shake a hand,
Shake a hand, shake a hand,
First we smile and shake a hand,
So early in the morning.

Then we sit down quietly,
Quietly, quietly,
Then we sit down quietly,
So early in the morning.

We listen very carefully,
Carefully, carefully,
We listen very carefully
So early in the morning.

Good Morning

Good morning to the school,
Good morning to the desk,
Good morning to the pencils and the pens.
Good morning to the teacher,
Good morning to the kids,
Good morning to learning with my friends.

Isn’t It Fun!

Good morning, good morning!
School has begun.

Good morning, good morning!|
Isn’t it fun!

Pencils and crayons,
Scissors and glue,
Erasers and paper,
Reading books, too.

Good morning, good morning!
School has begun.

Good morning, good morning!
Isn’t it fun!

Try, Try Again                                               

                                       by T. H. Palmer                                                       

If at first you don’t succeed,
Try, try again;

This is a lesson you should heed,
Try, try again;

Then your courage should appear,
For, if you will persevere,
You will conquer, never fear;
Try, try again.

If you find your task is hard,
Try, try again;

Time will bring you your reward,
Try, try again.

All that other folks can do,
Why, with patience, should not you?
Only keep this rule in view,
Try, try again.

The Boys We Need

                                       by Edith Segal    

I trust the boy who’s not afraid.
To do his share of work; 
Who never is by toil dismayed,
And never tries to shirk.
The boy whose heart is great to meet
All lions in the way;
Whose not discouraged by defeat,
But tries another day.

The boy who always means to do
The very best he can;
Who always keeps the right in view,
And aims to be a man.

Such boys as these will grow to be
The man whose heart will guide
The future of our land; and we
Shall speak their names with pride.                 

When We Are Men

When we are men, when we are men,
We hope we’ll do great things; and then,
Whatever we do, this thing we’ll say:
We’ll do our work in the very best way.
And you will see, if you know us then,
We shall be good and useful men
When we are men.

Work While You Work

                                       by A. D. Stoddart

Work while you work,
Play while you play;
This is the way
To be cheerful and gay.

All that you do,
Do with your might;
Things done by halves
Are never done right.

One thing each time,
And that done well,
Is a very good rule,
As many can tell.

Moments are useless,
Trifled away;
So work while you work,
And play while you play.
