The #5 most popular story of the year was a mystery.
I asked students to read the poem below by Bobbi Katz and figure out what she is writing about. What are sandpaper kisses? How does the person in the poem wake up every morning? Is it a pleasant wake up, or an annoying one?
Students had a lot of fun trying to solve the mystery! Can you tell what this poem is about?
Sandpaper kisses
On a cheek or a chin -
That is the way
For a day to begin!
Sandpaper kisses -
A cuddle, a purr
I have an alarm clock
That’s covered with fur.
