PoetryDAYS  OF  THE  WEEKBy: Berine Thompson

Learning the days of the week can be fun. Knowing from the first day it starts to the last day it's done. 

Here is a way to remember each day; Picking a day you would most like to play. S       is for SUNDAY, the first         day of the week M       is for MONDAY, time for school         don't over sleep T       is for TUESDAY, maybe a         special day for you W       is for WEDNESDAY, half of         the week is through T       is for THURSDAY, as you         struggle along F       is for FRIDAY, it's time to         play and have fun S       is for SATURDAY, ending         the week And we've learned all seven days not having to peak.
