Considering all learning
Considering all learning styles
Relating, and teaching with smiles
Trying to be proactice
Adding much interactive
Learning will then grow by miles!

Where has the money gone?
the lotto is taking our money
they said schools would benefit, funny
the school's getting naught
while the lotto is hot
I think this should stop, don't you honey?
Stay Motivated/Stick Together
In September we start with a dream
"Work together as one solid team"
But the year takes its toll
We lose sight of our goal
And by April we all want to scream!
There once was a teacher who
There once was a teacher who cared,
He gave and he gave but despaired…
Finally he let go, took risks that standardized tests could not know,
And his students have finally flared!
The students are
The students are learning,
Ready for college or a career,
Why do they succeed?
It's the staff indeed!
And the parents who volunteer!
The Key
Ambassadors of hope are we
Stakeholders together our plea
Take the kids where they are
And then raise the bar
High expectations for success is the key
If you make school fun Then
If you make school fun
Then kids will want to come
Great school have lots of morale
So you might have to meet at a local corral
I'm out of lines, but I've only just begun
Recipe for Success
There is a child who learns with zest
His teachers learned how to teach best
The assessments are done
Technology adds fun
Link projects to plan for life’s quest.
