On Mondays, I feel like a dragon!

Today at Swift, we read Francisco X Alarcon’s “On Mondays I feel like a dragon.” We had a lot of fun acting out different animals and talking about what we feel like on different days of the week! It turns out that there are a lot of Japanese Flying Squirrel feelings in this classroom!

What I feel like on Fridays Sosan

I feel like I could jump off
my window and zoom to school
ready for fun Friday.
I feel like a parrot ready
to play a fun game.
I feel like a dwarf flying
squirrel ready to ace my test.
I feel so ready on Friday
I could lift the world to outer space
and say hello to
the man doing its daily routine.

Everyday Feelings

I feel like peppa pig jumping
on Sundays.
I feel like
a sloth it’s toe
on Mondays.
I feel like a
whale jumping
out of
the bed on Tuesdays
I feel like goat
in it’s seat sleeping
on Wednesday.
I feel like a
bunny jumping
high out from
behind the couch
on Tuesdays.
I feel like a
panda on Fridays.
I feel like a koala
and a tiger. I feel
like a cat on Saturdays.
