This is my teacher. Her name is Teacher Akinyi.
She loves us a lot.
Teacher Akinyi teaches us the alphabet.
She teaches us the vowels. I can say the letters a, e, i, o, u.
Teacher Akinyi teaches us colours.
I know red, blue, green, yellow, and black.
During nap time, Teacher Akinyi sings us to sleep.
She sings a lullaby to us.
The lullaby goes like this:
Golden slumber give your eyes.
Smiles await you when you rise.
Sleep sweet darlings, do not cry.
And I'll sing you a sweet lullaby.
Teacher Akinyi knows many stories.
She tells us a different story each day of the week.
On Monday, she tells us stories about great men.
On Tuesday, she tells us stories about great women.
On Wednesday, she tells us stories about means of transport.
On Thursday, she tells us stories about farming.
And on Friday, we tell our own stories to the class.
Our teacher is the best teacher in the world!
When I grow up, I want to be like Teacher Akinyi.
