With July 4th coming up, I miss June 4th. I won the balloon toss at school.

Balloons remind me of May 4th. It was mom’s birthday and we had cake with pink frosting.

Frosting reminds me of April 4th. We are still cleaning frosting up from the April Fools joke.

The joke reminds me of March 4th. It was a full moon and my brother said it was made out of cheese. Cheese reminds me of February 4th, when I started making a cheesy Valentine Card for my teacher. My teacher reminds me of January 4th. That's when she asked about my vacation.

My vacation reminds me of December 4th. It snowed, I stayed home from school. Snow reminds me of November 4th, a boring day when nothing happened.

That boring day reminds me of October 4th, a fun day. We picked apples! The apples remind me of Sept. 4th. I brought the teacher an apple, on that first day of school.

School reminds me of August 4th; summer bonfires. The sparks from the fires remind me of last July 4th, we saw fireworks.

The fireworks remind me I was born in the USA, which reminds me of a song.
