POEMS FftOM THE FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADES George Washington George Washington, so brave and so true, I Vus born on February 22, 1732; It was he who crossed the Delaware, Dela-ware, To save many hearts from despair; For our country he did fight, For he knew it was only right; From him we learn the truth to tell And if we do-all will be well.

First and Second Grade We are having a George Washing ton program on Friday- We have invited Miss Robin's room to see it. Bobby Earl is George Washington Washing-ton in one play, and Donald Christensen is George Washington in another play. i We have learned some poems and songs about Washington that we are going to use for the program. Our kitchen is finished after weeks of hammering, painting and sawing, we have the furniture all done. The curtains are washed and up. Today Shirley Watkins brought her dishes and pans to school so we can play with them. Geraldine brought a broom and a dust pan. Now we can play in it when all our work is done. ' |
