Last Day
Rah! Rah! Sis-boom-bah!
Hip! Hip! Hip! Hooray!
Ta-daaa! Ooo-la-laaa!
At last the last day!

Va-va-voom! I’m free!
Adios! Hear! Hear!
Whoopee! Yessiree!
So long, long school year!

Welcome to summer.
Lazy days adored,
But what a bummer.
Already I’m bored.

"No one becomes a writer who wasn't first a reader ."

From The Elevator Family Sets Sail:
Whitney held a small triangular flag that she had sewn. She attached the pennant it to a line and ran the flag up to the top of the tall mast in the center of the ship. On the flag was the Wilson’s logo. This way passing ships could tell who was on board the boat.
“The five stars are the Big W star formation found in the constellation Cassiopeia,” she explained.
“A constellation we’ve seen many times on our travels,” said Winslow. “Dad always says the Big W stands for Wilson.”
“And the Big W will again be guiding us during this voyage,” said Winona.
Captain Walter stood at the wheel. He wore his white captain’s hat. He leaned back to watch the Wilson pennant flap in the steady breeze. “Excellent, only the best. Yes, the Big W stands for our family"

"Before people wrote books no one learned to read."

The microchips have taken control!

Why have the microchips in Deacon’s neighborhood—chips in traffic signals, ATM machines, mobile phones, and cars---started to communicate with Deacon?    Do they want to help him out, to get free ice cream, good grades, or the occasional day off from school?  No, the Chip Network wants much more from Deacon and many other children in Silicon Valley whose parents work for high-tech companies.

Of all I learned about in school,
The most useful thing I found,
Was not a law or property,
But the simple short ĕ sound.
