There were 81 friends from my old school And I made 25 new ones I thought my teacher might be mean But she’s the most amazing one That I had ever seen There were so many books I couldn’t even count them So many kids at the water fountain My frst day of school

First things frst I’m gonna learn how to read Cause if I can do that My mind will grow like a tree I’ll learn how to paint I’ll learn how to sing I’ll write a song About everything

Chorus

I can do math I can add and subtract Ten plus 10 It’s as easy as that My mind will be a magnet I will never forget The teachers who taught me Deserve lots of respect

Chorus I Wonder What Will Happen Next Paul Reisler with Heather Mae & Ms. Sachs 2nd graders

The shadows creep closer The owl calls my name Clouds drif across the blood red moon The fog rolls in, the lights grow dim I wonder what will happen next

I hear a wolf howling Sends shivers up my spine My heart beats fast, my hair stands on end Should I run away or should I stay? I wonder what will happen next?

I tell myself I’m not afraid I tell myself I must be brave I tell myself it’s in my head WAIT! Is that a ghost rising from the dead?

Now the sun is rising Chasing the demons away I survived the night, I won the fght I know what I’ve seen, it wasn’t a dream I wonder what will happen next? Tonight Tonight Tonight Tonight Thunder Is The Sound Of God Laughing Paul Reisler with Heather Mae & Ms. Paulhamus’s 1st graders and kindergartners

Thunder is the sound of God laughing Rain is just the tears of the eyes of angels Don’t you worry, it won’t last Don’t you worry, it will pass It’s just a storm being born It’s just a storm being born

Gota keep your windows closed Hug your parents close Gota wait out the storm With the ones you love the most

Chorus

And at tmes when I get mad About things that have gone bad I just walk away Take a deep breath and then I say

Chorus I Do Love Virginia by Paul Reisler & Lorraine Duisit w/ Terri Allard and Mr. Yarzebinski and Ms. Camden 4th Grade, Tye River Elementary

Everytme I drive up highway 29 I see that old man standin’ in the grass Wavin’ to everyone who goes on by Being friendly to everyone who goes on past

Sunsets remind me of what heaven would look like Who painted this Virginia sky Purple, orange, red and yellow God’s in the colors when you open your eyes

Ooh, I do love Virginia Nothin’ will ever change my mind Ooh, I do love Virginia I will never leave this place behind I will never leave this place behind

Everytme I think life is passin’ me by I see that old man standing in the grass With nothing but the day, the sun and the light And the joy of livin’ right here in the past

Far as I see, the south speaks and I listen Old as tme and new as the dawn Song of the peepers and the whippoorwill calling The tmes may be changin’ but the spirit lives on

Chorus
