A New Adventure
Every fall we see
A new room full of faces
Who will someday grow up
To go all kinds of places
First we learn names
And then come realities
Different backgrounds
And even nationalities
We'll learn many things
Math, science, and history
We'll begin to explore
Life's many mysteries
We'll learn that a book
That fits in our backpack
Can hold a new world
As we follow its track
To new places in
Our imagination
Reading a good story
Is a little vacation
We'll learn things we see
And learn things we hear
An adventure together
Of another school year
