Listen together Read aloud by Amy · 21 seconds

Open eyes and stretch up tall,

Hello window, hello wall.

Wash my face with water cool,

Socks and shoes, then off to school.

Step by step, I know the way,

One, two, three, a brand new day.

Talk about it together

What do you do first when you wake up?

Tip: read it again tomorrow. Children often enjoy saying the last word of each line once the poem feels familiar.
