Opening Verses
3-5th Grade
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
--from Lewis
Carroll's
The Walrus and the Carpenter
5th Grade
Look to this day for it is life,
the very life of life.
Yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision
But today well lived
makes every yesterday
a dream of happiness
And tomorrow
a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
--Kalidasa
