Joey's Poem

OK, it's a first. I finally figured out how to get the videos off the camcorder and into a format that works. At least, I think it works. You'll have to let me know.

Joey memorized a poem for the Storytelling Festival at his school. He was one of 4 Kindergarteners who told their poem for the K-3 grades at an assembly earlier this week. And he won first place for the Kindergarten age group!

Today they had a special little story telling time where any Kindergarteners who wanted to could say their poems. We filmed Joey doing his poem. And it's a little hard to hear, so these are the words:

If I were the color blue, I'd sing sad songs for you.
If I were the color yellow, I'd be a happy fellow.
If I were the color green, I'd grow like a big string bean.
If I were the color brown, I'd be a chocolate town.
If I were the color pink, I'd be a lemonade drink.
If I were the color purple, nothing would rhyme with me!
(I found the poem somewhere in the internet, in case you were wondering)

I love that all the kids laughed with him and that Joey said his lines with so much enthusiasm, so joey! The end line was the best.

I love the sing-song cadence. And his expressions at the end are CLASSIC "Joey-ness"! Love that kid!
