Fluency Fridays

Parker's teacher has named Fridays....Fluency Fridays. What a terrific idea. This past Friday he brought home a poem that he had to read a certain number of times. Here is the poem... I thought I would share because it is pretty cute! Enjoy

Getting Dressed for School....by Kenn Nesbitt

I must have been too sleepy
getting dressed for school today.
I tried to tuck my shirt in,
but I couldn't make it stay.

I also couldn't tie my shoes.
I fumbled with the laces.
I snagged my scarf, and now some yarn
is dangling from my braces.

My socks are different colors,
and my pants are inside out.
My sweater from the hamper left me
smelling like a trout.

I thought I put a hat on
to control my crazy hair.
The hat turned out to be a pair
of purple underwear.

I spilled my breakfast on my clothes
and headed into school.
My friends, of course, were all impressed.
I'd never looked so cool.
