New York Pledge I pledge my heart to New York State its countryside and cityscapes its rolling hills and sparkling sea its fields its farms and factories By concrete path or crystal stream New Yorkers live and work and dream and my heart will always be glad New York is home to me
New York Numbers 10 ladybugs were lying on a leaf It suddenly started to rain 4 ladybugs flew home for umbrellas How many ladybugs remained 1 apple in my lunchbox 6 in Grandma’s pie 10 apples in my basket How many in my rhyme If 3 shy scallops invited 2 friends to dine how many plates of algae would they need at suppertime 2
If 6 speckled trout were swimming in a stream and one followed a wiggling worm how many would there be If 8 busy beavers were chomping at a tree and 4 of them went home to bed how many would there be If 2 white-bellied bluebirds perched on a tree were joined by another 2 how many would there be 3
