Lend a hand to save trees

They give us oxygen to breathe in,
And absorb the carbon dioxide.
Trees are our best friends,
They exist so that we can survive.

Trees check the soil erosion,
And maintain its fertility.
They help in drought and flood control,
And add in natural beauty.

Read to your children

Twenty minutes a day,
You have the time,
And so do they,
Read while the laundry is in the machine,
Read while dinner cooks,
Tuck a child in the crook of your arm,
And reach for the library books.
Hide the remote,
Let the computer games cool,
For one day your child will be off to school,
Make it fun! You have the choice,
Let them hear their first tales,
In the sound of your voice.
Read in the morning,
Read over noon,
Read by the light of
Goodnight Moon.
Turn the pages together,
Sitting close as you'll fit,
Till a small voice beside you says,
"Hey, don't quit."

Retell the story

When I read a story,
It has more than one part!
The title and the author,
Are just the places I start!
The setting, characters and problem
Are parts of the story too!
Beginning, middle, end, and solution,
Help me retell the story to you!

100 pieces

Piece by piece,
Bit by bit,
Try them all
To find a fit.

First the edges,
Then between,
Filling in,
A puzzling scene.
