26 Days

With 26 days left of school,
The teachers of 5th grade
Devised a list for every day
And thus a plan was made.

So following the alphabet,
Each date has something set.
Today, Adventure Day was
Most exciting, I would bet.

For all 5th graders got to tour
The middle school to see
Exactly where, when school begins 
Next year, they’re going to be.

On other dates they’ll get to have
Some X-tra time to play
Or perform a singing Broadway show
On special Music day.

The countdown goes to Zero
Since they’ll graduate and then,
In middle school a longer countdown
Will begin again.

Just a coincidence? ~ Today is the 26th day of the Counting of the Omer. One difference. Tomorrow is the 27th... ~ Gershon
