Our Body Parts

We use our legs when we walk.

We use our mouths when we talk.
We use our hands when we write.
We use our teeth when we bite.
With each part, we can do a lot.
Let's be proud of what we've got.

Feelings

1
 Sometimes I feel angry,
Sometimes I feel sad,
Sometimes I feel scared, Sometimes I feel glad.
But all the times I'm feeling, I hope you would agree.
There's a feeling that won't change, I'm happy to be me!
