Poem of the Week: Week 3

Here we go with our third poem! To help the students improve their oral reading skills, I ask that on each Monday night, the boys and girls read all the POTWs in their collection  aloud like a teacher. 
I've suggested to the kids that they read to their toys to help them feel more like a teacher. Students want to focus on adding expression, focusing on punctuation and listening to hear that they don't "robot read". That's when we get all the words right, but we don't modulate our voice to bring life to the text.
