INVOLVING WITH KIDS AT HOME - PART 5 (Saying it with poems)

How do you make a ten year old look at what she/he is doing every day? Step out and look at themselves, so that they can analyse and understand !!!!!!

We did it with poems and believe me, it wAs so much fun.... and yes, it was a relief to know that you are not alone in this world..... ( courtesy https://www.poetry4kids.com/reading-level/grade-four/)

Mr. Nobody

BY ANONYMOUS

I know a funny little man, 

    As quiet as a mouse, 

Who does the mischief that is done 

    In everybody’s house! 

There’s no one ever sees his face, 

    And yet we all agree 

That every plate we break was cracked 

    By Mr. Nobody. 

’Tis he who always tears out books, 

    Who leaves the door ajar, 

He pulls the buttons from our shirts, 

    And scatters pins afar; 

That squeaking door will always squeak, 

    For prithee, don’t you see, 

We leave the oiling to be done 

    By Mr. Nobody. 

He puts damp wood upon the fire

   That kettles cannot boil;

His are the feet that bring in mud,

   And all the carpets soil.

The papers always are mislaid;

   Who had them last, but he?

  

Belinda’s an Expert at Bathing

Belinda’s an expert at bathing.

She loves to swim laps in the tub.

She’s clever at cleaning her kneecaps

and giving her elbows a scrub.

She often makes beards out of bubbles,

then puts on a play with her toys.

She practices splashing and shouting

and filling the bathroom with noise.

She’s mastered the use of the loofa,

the sponge, and the body puff too.

She’s truly a wiz with a washcloth.

She’s skillful at using shampoo.

Belinda’s so good in the bathtub,

just ask her; she’ll probably say

she’s planning to grow up to be

a professional bathlete someday.

Two poems which we could relate to, soooooooooo easily😁😁😁
