Raise your hand to speak,wait ‘til teacher calls you.Have respect for others,

Good, good citizens obey the rules.

Always be polite,and you may not fight.

Courtesy for others - that rule is right!



Always obeywhat the teachers says.And obey the first time.That will make her day.



Don’t shove in line,stay in your seat.

Allways have good mannerswhen it’s time to eat.



Finish what you start,then you’ll have success.

These are some good rules.Always do your best.

If I put it in my batterIt will make my batter bitter.So she bought a bit of butterBetter than the bitter butter

And it made her batter better.Thus, 'twas better Betty BotterBought a bit of better butter.

There is a boarding housefar, far away.

Where they serve ham and eggsthree times a day.

Oh, how the boarders yellwhen they hear the dinner bell.

Oh, how the eggs do smellthree miles away.

Literature Ideas

Betty and Bill's Boarding House Blues.

Deep in the high mountains and talltrees, somewhere long ago and far away,there was a house of many rooms. Theowner began to rent rooms to individuals,who also paid extra for board, which meansfood. A cook named Betty was hired, andthe boarders, who paid for room and board,got what they paid for.

Betty, the cook, did not have muchimagination. She only knew how to pre-pare one meal: ham and eggs. For break-fast she served ham and eggs, for lunch sheserved ham and eggs, for dinner she servedham and eggs. The boarders knew that thedinner bell was about to sound, because theodor of the eggs was so strong, peoplecould smell them three miles away!

Bill, one of the boarders, was de-pressed. He was in the advertising busi-ness, and they lived so far away and longago, that no one had anything to advertise.With no advertising sold, it was very hardfor him to pay his bill for room and board.Then it ocurred to him that if he sold hisbill board, he would have the money to payhis room and board bill.

Will the boarders survive meal time?Will Betty ever bake better biscuits? WillBill ever pay his board bill? Listen to thissong. Try to repeat.

Hummingbirds are among the bird world’s best flyers. Only a blur can be seen and a hummingbe heard when they move their wings, hence their name. Their family consists of nearly 700species which range in size from the giant hummer of the Andes mountains (8 1/2 inches) tothe fairy hummingbird of Cuba (2 1/2 inches), the world’s smallest bird. Some 19 species andsubspecies, which range in length from three to five inches, occur in the United States andCanada. The only note of the hummingbird is a single chirp, not louder than that of a cricket.The Ruby Throated Hummingbird is found throughout the United States in the summermonths. It is from three to four inches long, and the smaller males glisten with their greenemerald and changeable amethyst coloring. They weigh only about as much as a penny, anda half-dollar would cover their nest. Nests are made of plant down, lichen, spider web, andsaliva threads. Once or twice a year two tiny white eggs about one-half inch long are laid inthe nest saddled on a tree branch between three and fifty feet high.

Cotton Needs PickingLevel Four Vocations

Oh, cotton needs picking so bad,Cotton needs picking so bad,Cotton needs picking so bad,

I'm going to pick all over this field.

This cotton was planted in April,Under the light of the moon,We had a hot, dry summer,

That's why it opened so soon.



Oh, hurry up, hurry up, children,Pick that cotton today;

The sky, it looks so cloudy,A storm is coming this way.



This was a popular work song in the cotton fields.Such songs served to lighten spirits as well as topace the work. Cotton is the basis for the clothmost widely used throughout the world. A four orfive foot shrub, the cotton plant bears blossomswhich produce a boll of aobut two-thirds seed andon-third fiber. The plant needs rich soil, moderateirrigation, and much sun. Eli Whitneys' cotton gininvented in 1793 rmoved the seeds from the fiberand gave the gotton industry great impetus. Untilrecently all cotton was picked by hand. In 1927the Rust brothers invented a machine to do thepicking. The United sTates ranks among the chiefcotton-producing countries.

Lay down, little dogies, and when you are downYou can stretch yourselves out, for there's plenty of ground,

Hi-o, hi-o, hi-o.

So snore, little dogies, I'll welcome the soound,And you'll be bunched when the daylight comes.

Oh, bunch up, dogies, bunch up,Hi-o, hi-o, hi-o.

This is a lullaby for cattle. A "dogie" is a stray yearling steer or a motherless calf.
