Photo Album/Scrap Book

What you do:
With the glue stick, add photos and objects that represent your family and friends, your family vacation, a hobby or anything that you like.  Cut the pictures into interesting shapes and make it fun.  Make sure to leave enough room to write in captions.   After the glue has dried, write in captions to explain all of the photos and objects.  Either staple all the pages together or punch holes down one side and tie with ribbon or yarn.  It's an easy and fun project that you can treasure forever!

CD Organizers

What you need:
* Large laundry soap box
* Construction paper
* Glue
* Felt
* Markers, stickers, anything to decorate with

What you do:
With scissors, cut off the top part of the box and throw it away.  Now cut the box in half, starting in the middle of the front of the box, all the way until you get to the middle of the back of the box.  You should have two equal open-face cases now.  Cover the outside (and inside too, if you want to) with the construction paper.  Cover the bottom of the cases with the felt (this keeps them from scratching up any of your stuff that you sit the cases on).  Now decorate them until they look cool, and get your stuff organized!

Tongue Twisters

Three free throws.

Cows graze in groves on grass which grows in grooves in groves.

Fat frogs flying past fast.

Sam's shop stocks short spotted socks.

Freshly fried fresh fish.

Six slippery snails slid slowly seaward.

Getting Unbored

Bored, bored, bored.
There's nothing good to do.
I don't feel like playing football.
I don't want to paint things blue.

I'm not in the mood for TV,
and I'm sick of hide and seek.
Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored.
I've been bored for a week.

I no longer like my train set,
and my bike is getting old.
All my friends are outside playing,
but I think it's much too cold.

I don't feel like doing anything,
but doing nothing's just as bad.
Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored.
This boredom makes me mad.

I'm tired of my race cars,
and my games are all the pits.
I no longer like my checkers
and I hate my baseball mitts.

I just sit here on the sofa
listening closely to each breath.
If I don't do something soon
I'll probably bore myself to death.

Uh oh.  Here comes my mother,
with some chores for 'you know who'.
"I can't clean my room now, Mom!
I've got way too much to do!"

Arlen Davidson

The Voice

There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
"I feel that this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong."
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What's right for you - just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.
