The First Day of School

Jenna, it's finally here! Yay! Look, Daisy, I got a new backpack. Cool. I'm using my sister's old one. But that's okay. I like frogs.

I can't wait to go back to South Street School. And meet our teacher, Miss Gray. It's such a nice name. It rhymes with day, play, May. . . all great words!

My sister said Miss Gray is really nice-and really pretty. I bet she lets us sit next to each other! Come on! Let's run!

Ugh! It's the first day of school, Coby! Don't remind me. What's our teacher's name? I keep forgetting. And I keep telling you, Mark! It's Miss Gray.

Oh, right. Gray, like a gloomy rain cloud. Or a big, creepy spider! Yuck! Second grade is going to be awful!

So who's your teacher, Jenna? Miss Gray. She's really nice and really pretty.
