2. Creepy, Crawly Critters
Crept right under Crystal’s door.
Creepy crawly critters
Crept across the crowded floor.
Ran crisscross in a fright;
When Crystal’s crazy crocodile
Smiled with cruel delight.

3. Marching Through the Night
Left, right, left, right,
Marching onwards through the night.
Marching till the morning light.
Even thought your boots are tight.
March right on with all your might!

5. The winds of March begin to blow, And it is time for kites, you know.
Making Kites
The winds of March begin to blow,
And it is time for kites, you know.
Here’s the way I make my kite,
Watch and help me do it right.

6. Making Kites I cross two sticks so thin and long,
Tied together good and strong.
A string I fasten to each end,
And across the middle to make it bend.
I measure and cut the paper straight,
And glue along the edge and wait.

7. A ball of string to hold my kite, When it sails almost out of sight.
Making Kites
A ball of string to hold my kite,
When it sails almost out of sight.
And there’s my kite all ready to go,
Please March wind, begin to blow!

8. The Man in the Moon Without any warning The man in the moon
Dropped into our school
At around noon.
You may not believe me
But I have the proof.
There’s a man-in-the-moon
shaped hole in the roof.

10. Magic There’s magic in a book. You only have to look.
You can go endless places
Or even learn to cook.
I love to find
A warm and snuggly nook,
Where I can curl up
And make friends with a book.

Sometimes oo says “OO” book.

12. My Bicycle One wheel, two wheels on the ground,
My feet make the pedals
go round and round,
Handle bars help me steer so straight,
Down the sidewalk, through the gate.

13. Rain When the rain is splashing down, On the fields and on the town,
Singing winds begin to blow,
And the flowers start to grow.

Did you know OW can say “o”?
For example: I see a brown cow.
Many words use OW for “o”,
Like down, clown, and a dog can howl.

16. Think of Long “U” Think of words With the sound of long U
That end with an “e”,
Such as use and clue.

cube or blue.

17. I Spy a Little Fly I spy a little fly Buzzing in the deep blue sky.
He’ll be gone by and by.
Buzzing round, I don’t know why.
Buzzing round and looking sly.
He’ll be gone by and by…
But not before he’s made me cry.

But my mother said to me,
“Just have some chili.”

19. Chicken Soup I was really hungry For some chunky chicken soup,
But my mother said to me,
“Just eat a cherry.”
So, I snuck into the kitchen
And climbed upon a chair,
And with one fail swoop,
I cooked my chunky chicken soup!
