Today it is time to read and spell
Time for books and for tea
And time to learn the alphabet
For Cloud, for my brother, and me
America is our country
From sea to shining sea
A land of beautiful bounty
Home sweet home where we are free
Beehive is crowded with honeybees
They make a buzzing sound
Humming as loudly as they please
A big bumblebee flies around
Cloud naps in his doghouse
It is warm and cozy inside
He shares it with a little mouse
She thinks it’s a good place to hide
Daddy is playing piano
Jazz, rock and classical
Mommy is singing soprano
Cloud thinks it’s a musical
Eagle perched high in a tree
He then soars without fear
In awe we watch him fly
He flies further than we can see
Flowers blooming in the meadow
The summer days are very hot
Farm animals seek a shadow
In the stable they sleep a lot
will change to
maple leaves
Grandpa is playing the cello
Under the maple tree
Cloud comes by to say hello
As friendly as he can be
Houses in our neighborhood
Sit on top of a hill
Surrounded by a leafy wood
Below is a red farm and mill
Ice cream is a tasty treat
When summer days are hot
Cloud and I want to eat
One scoop; it’s not a lot
Jeans are popular clothes
For work and for play
Daddy wears them for both
He wears jeans every day
Kindergarten is starting soon
Cloud thinks learning is cool
We will be done each day at noon
It’s good to prepare for school
Ladybug is bathing
In a drop of dew
It’s a pleasure known to her
But not to me or you
Mommy smiles at brother and me
The sun comes out from behind a cloud
There’s a red bird in a tree
He is singing very loud
Nana bakes delicious pies
Like apple and blueberry
They come in every flavor and size
My favorite one is cherry
Oatmeal is made fresh every day
With apples from our tree
Rise and shine, it’s time to play
Breakfast will keep us healthy
Our Pool is a fun summer place
Cloud really likes to swim
He always wants to have a race
I swim fast to catch up with him
Quilt on my bed is very soft
It has pretty patterns and colors
Cloud and I snuggle in
We can sleep in and dream for hours
Robin sings a merry song
Her feathers are red and brown
She tends to her babies all day long
Their nest is as soft as down
Sky in summer is blue and sunny
We like to play outside
Cloud and I can see a bunny
Looking for a place to hide
Trees stand tall in our back yard
Their leaves shine bright in the sun
When we play among them
The squirrels jump and run
Umbrella keeps us dry
In very rainy weather
Cloud wears his raincoat
When we play outside together
Violin is a gift for brother
It came from far away
Sent to him by Grandmother
He is learning how to play
Robin sings a merry song
Her feathers are red and brown
She tends to her babies all day long
Their nest is as soft as down
Xylophone makes a merry sound
When Cloud taps on the keys
Brother and I dance around
Cloud plays whatever we please
Yogurt is my favorite treat
Cloud really likes it, too
It is very good to eat
Healthy for me and you
Zzzzzz…it is time to go to sleep
Mommy turns off the light
Cloud does not let out a peep
Day has turned to night
That was the whole alphabet
Twenty-six letters from A to Z
We’ll practice again tomorrow
And commit it all to memory
