Dylan's Homework

So I am sitting here wondering when exactly second grade home work started requiring so much thought. Dylan's spelling homework for the evening was to write a song that included all 15 of his spelling words. Now when I was in second grade that would have been simple, our words were always relative to one another. Dylan's list however is not that way. His words this week are as follows:
Boat
Snow
Coat
Grow
Float
Own
Low
Soak
Bowl
Yellow
Snowflake
Sailboat
Carload
Window
Load


I personally was stumped...I must be getting really old because I just don't have the imagination to come up with a song like he did, but my little smarty arty came up with this:

One day I woke up
I went to my window
where I saw a snowflake
fall from the sky

I put on some warm clothes
ran out of my bed room
picked up my yellow coat
and then ran outside


I Love a Snowday
a stay home from School Day
No Carload of Friends
to ride with today
No, We'll All be outside
building snowmen and snow forts
we could even go sledding
and have snow ballfights

summertime's just fine
I soak in the sun
take the boat and go fishin
sure that is fun

i like to wave at the sailboats
as they float by
but sowndays are better
i'll tell you why



I Love a Snowday
a stay home from School Day
No Carload of Friends
to ride with today
No, We'll All be outside
building snowmen and snow forts
we could even go sledding
and have snow ballfights


Mom gives me tomato soup
in my own special bowl
it warms up my tummy
and helps me to grow


when it's a snow day
we have loads of fun
playing all day long
cuz our homework's been done



I Love a Snowday
a stay home from School Day
No Carload of Friends
to ride with today
No, We'll All be outside
building snowmen and snow forts
we could even go sledding
and have snow ball fights


Of Course mom helped him with the format and piecing lines together to make it flow,
but the entire concept was HIS!! I am so so so PROUD!!!! I would love to have an accompaniment written so that he could take it in and sing it for his class. I think that would be NEAT!!!
