April wrote this beautiful poem for her mother, Mrs.Denice Whitaker.
Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, the two men most responsible for writing the Declaration of Independence, both died on the same day. The date? July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years after the signing of their declaration!
Since 1774 the United States of America has had nine different capitals.
George Washington didn’t sign the Declaration of Independence because he was out in the field with his army, not in Philadelphia where the Declaration was signed.
The word bigwig originated around the time of the American Revolution. It meant a person of real or fancied importance. The larger the wig a person wore, the more important he was designated to be.
What time of day was Adam born?
Just before Eve!
Why is your nose in the middle of your face?
Because it’s the scenter (center).

automobile
What two things can’t you eat for breakfast?
lunch and dinner
How are you supposed to
measure snakes?
In inches because they have no feet.
Mrs. Jones ten-year-old daughter, Louise, came home from camp with a shiny medal for packing
her suitcase more neatly than any other girl.
“How did you do it,” marveled Mrs. Jones, “when at home you often leave messes behind?”
“It was easy,” explained Louise, “I just never unpacked it all summer!”

Reading a book is so much fun,
You can learn to bake a bun,
See a cowboy shoot his gun,
See a jogger Run, Run, Run,
Find how to stay forever young,
Read of how a picture's hung,
Reading a book is so much fun. |

What do you get when you cross a rainstorm with a convertible? A carpool!
How can you tell if a fly in the kitchen is a cowboy?
Why does the ocean roar? |

What fascinates me are the mountains so tall,
What fascinates me is the bow of a ship,
What fascinates me are the birds that can fly,
What fascinates me are the mansions so fine,
But what fascinates me most of all, |

There are three guys walking in the desert and the first guy says, "I brought a piece of bread so if we get
hungry we can eat it."
The second guy said, "I brought a glass of milk so if we get thirsty we can drink it."
Then the third guy who was trailing behind said, "I brought this car door so if we get hot we can roll down
the window."
Girl: "First I got tonsillitis, followed by appendicitis and pneumonia, ending up with neuritis. Then they gave

My Favorite Animal by Andrew E. age 12
I have a favorite farm animal
he's a black and white holstein
He's big and stong and bulky
he's the biggest bull I've seen.
He slowly grazes in the field
He sure does love to eat
he's getting
bigger every day
he'll make some tasty meat.
He slowly roams the countryside
his cud he loves to chew
and as he walks across the way
he nods good bye to you.

God's Awesome Space by Aimee E. age 10
Way up in the sky at night
what a lot to see
Many stars a great big light
the look small to me
Oh if I could go to space
see the planets nine
arranged in a great big case
oh so great and fine
it could not have just appeared
it had to be God.
Though the scientists so jeered
it the people awed.
Learning the Basics by Mr. Kevin R.
After breakfast one morning, I told my wife and Jonathan, age four, "I sprayed
under the dishwasher for a cockroach, but I think I got the lizard that was living
there, also." Jonathan said, "Cockroaches carry their eggs in their bodies." My wife
responded, "Mommies carry their eggs in their bodies, too." Jonathan thought about
that for a few seconds, then quipped, "You mean like when you were a cockroach, mommy?"
We had to explain to him that mommy was never a cockroach. 
What is it?
It has four legs
It eats hay.
It has a tail
And it sees just as well
from either end.
A horse with his eyes shut. 
Why are fish so smart?
They are in homeschools.
What is the difference between a donkey and a postage stamp?
One you lick with a stick, the other you stick with a lick.

I'm going to grandpa and grandma's in Idaho.
I love them so much, you know.
Grandpa always asks me how old I'll be when I'm ten
then smiles because I fell for his joke again.
Grandpa has a horse,
A nice, short one of course.
Twinkle is his name,
Brown with a white tail and mane.
When I go there, I'm going to ride him.
Oh joy!
The saddle makes me feel like a real cowboy.
I'll see grandma who makes good stew
And has lots of good food and games for me to do.
Sometimes she buys
candy, but I'll say it's not good for me.
I'll hug her when I get there.
I love them a lot, a bunch, really!
When did the fly fly? 
When the spider spied her.
Why couldn't the flower ride it's bike?
It lost it's petals.
Which side of a hen has the most feathers?
The outside.
