Poem time

They took it easy on us the first week.
Now we are in full homework mode around here.
Monday is English spelling test, Tuesday Spanish spelling test and Wednesday French spelling test, plus throw in poem memorization, hand writing and other "fun" stuff.
I present to you the poem that got her 10/10.
In my "time" this would have been a bible verse, but we are in France so let the poetry begin!

Pour la rentree...
Je voulais dans mon cartable
Emporter me chateaux de sable,
Mon cerf-volant, de coquillages
Et le portique de la plage.

Maman m'a dit
Ca n'est pas permis
Et puis tout ca
Ca ne rentre pas!

Alors j'ai pris un beau stylo,
Pour le gouter quelques gâteaux
Et que des choses raisonnables,
Plus trois petits grains de sable!
