Oh my gosh… I read this back to school poem and laughed so I have to post it! Usually anything that starts with “Twas the night before…. is going to be funny! ☺ I also found some really cute back to school poems you’ll just love ♥.
I’ve always loved poetry and happen to write poetry myself when I have time and creativity strikes! So I think poetry is a great way to express yourself & to get others thinking….. And what better thing to get you thinking about back to school than with back to school poetry!
The Night Before School
Twas the night before school started,
When all through the town,
The parents were cheering.
It was a riotous sound!
By eight, kids were washed
And tucked into bed…
When memories of homework…filled them with dread!
New pencils, new folders, new notebooks, too!
New teachers, new friends…their anxiety grew!
The parents just giggled when they learned of this fright
And shouted upstairs-…
GO TO BED-IT’S A SCHOOL NIGHT!

Daycare Provider Poem
Although you’re not their mother,
You care for them each day
You cuddle, sing, and read to them
And watch them as they play.
You see each new accomplishment
You help them grow and learn
You understand their language
And you listen with concern.
They come to you for comfort
And you kiss away their tears
They proudly show their work to you
You give the loudest cheers!
No, you are not their mother
But your role is just as strong
You nurture them and keep them safe
Though maybe not for long —
You know someday the time will come
When you will have to part
But you know each child you’ve cared for
Is forever in your heart!

WHY HANDS-ON?
I TRIED TO TEACH MY CHILD WITH BOOKS;
HE GAVE ME ONLY PUZZLED LOOKS.
I TRIED TO TEACH MY CHILD WITH WORDS;
THEY PASSED HIM BY OFTEN UNHEARD.
DESPAIRINGLY, I TURNED ASIDE;
“HOW SHALL I TEACH THIS CHILD,” I CRIED?
INTO MY HAND HE PUT THE KEY,
“COME,” HE SAID, “PLAY WITH ME.”
