Poetry reading

Back on March 24, Andrew and the two kindergarten classes did a poetry reading for the rest of the grade school and any parents or other family members who could attend.  Both kindergarten classes were at school all day this day to prepare for the afternoon reading.  I picked Carson up a bit early from preschool so he could be there too. 

The poetry reading was so sweet.  The children did a great job and was so interesting to hear the poems read, even if it was a repeat of a poem done earlier, because each child read it so uniquely. 

Here is a photo of Andrew & his two friends reading the poem Color Monsters.

Color Monsters

Red, red

forgot his head

Blue, blue

is sick with flu

Green, green

is a dancing queen

Yellow, yellow

sat in jello

Orange, orange

squished an orange

Brown, brown

your pants fell down

Pink, pink

has feet that stink

White, white

bites at night

Black, black

plays quarterback

(these colors might be out of sequence from how he actually read it, but this is how he recited it to me just now.  This poem was very popular with the kids.  Some read the whole poem, others only read about one particular color.  Most had to gigle when saying Brown, brown your pants fell down and Green, green is a dancing queen.)
