Read together
In my neighborhood, there's lots to explore,
A library, a school, and so much more,
My house is on the street, it's where I belong,
And the park is where I love to sing my song.
The library's a place to read and learn,
With books and stories at every turn,
I love to borrow books, take them home,
And read them in my cozy dome.
My house is where I rest and play,
Where I go at the end of the day,
It's where I eat and sleep and dream,
And where I feel safe and serene.
The school is where I learn and grow,
With teachers who guide me as I go,
I learn to read, to write, to count,
And with my friends, I have a fun amount.
The park is where I run and jump,
And swing and slide and take a bump,
I love to play with friends and share,
And feel the fresh, clean, and fragrant air.
In my neighborhood, I feel so blessed,
With all the places that make me feel my best,
The library, the school, my house, and the park,
All come together, like a shining spark.
