Brenner, Emily.
ON THE FIRST DAY OF GRADE SCHOOL
New York : HarperCollins, 2004.
IL K-3
ISBN 0060510412
Have you ever brought a present for a teacher?  What types of presents do you think teachers usually get?  Well, the students in this class love their teacher so much, that they bring her lots of presents.  They are a bit unusual presents though!  Try singing this book to the tune of the Twelve Days of Christmas.

On the fourth day of grade school,
my students gave to me
Four burping goats
Three fat rats
Two buzzing bees
And a python that didn't squeeze me.

Well, you get the idea!
