Great idea, Ruby.

One, two, three!

This is the poem I wrote for school.

It's called "All About Me."

"I love my dolls, and always give them a hug.

"I've even thrown a party for Can't Sit Up Slug."

[Giggling]

"I'm a student helper in my brother's class.

"Minding the playground

"is a super-fun task.

"Louise is my friend, we have tons of fun.

"Especially boogie-boarding out in the sun.

"I love school projects with Valerie, and being in plays.

"And I always enjoy Grandma's overnight stays.

"I'm learning to juggle and roller skate.

I love coming to school, I really can't wait!"

The end.

Bravo!

[Giggling] Thank you!

[Laughing]

I love your poem, Ruby.

Especially the part about Can't Sit Up Slug.

[Giggling]

Thanks. I've been practicing over and over

so I don't have to use my cards.

I'm a bit nervous about saying it

in front of my class tomorrow.

Lots of people get nervous speaking in front of others.

Just keep practicing, and it will get easier and easier.

Thanks, Mom.

It is nice to see you.

Umm... nice to see you too?

[Buzzing]

[Gasping, laughing] That tickled!

[Laughing]

It's a buzzer from my joke kit!

Oh, Max.

Wanna hear a knock-knock joke?

I'm kind of busy, Max, but maybe later.

Okay. I'll go do my tricks over there.

"I love my dolls, and always--"

Want some peanuts?

Maybe later. I really need to practice my poem for school.

You like my ring?

[Straining]

Ahh!

[Squeaking, whirring]

Lobster!

[Rattling in glass]

Oh, no!

There's a fly in my ice cube!

It's not real.

It's plastic!

I'm learning to juggling and roller skate.

I love coming to school, I really can't wait!

The end.

Ready to hear a joke now, Ruby?

You've been very patient, Max.

Sure, I can take a break.

Mom read me some knock-knock jokes from this joke book.

Here's one. Knock, knock.

Who's there?Bee.

Bee who?

Be a friend and open the door!

[Giggling]

That's funny, but I better get back to practicing my poem.

Since you're here, want to be my audience?

Okay!

[Whoopee cushion deflating]

Whoa! What was that?

[Giggling]

Whoopee cushion.

[Giggling]

I think I might be ready to say it without my cards.

[Exhaling]

I love my dolls and always give them a hug.

I've even thrown a party for Can't Sit Up Slug.

I'm a student helper in my brother's class.

Minding the playground is a super fun task!

Louise is my friend...

be a friend and open the d...

Oh, um, wait.

The end.

Phew. I did it!

I said the poem without my cards!

It sounds good, Ruby.

Thanks!

I've been doing this for a while.

I need a snack.

Ooh, yummy. Peanuts!

Ahhhh!

There's a snake in the house!

[Toy squeaking]

Oh, that Max.

I need a drink of water.

[Screaming]

Mom!

There's a fly in the ice!

[Max laughing]

You found my ice cube!

Yes, and I found your fake snake too.

Funny, aren't they?

I guess so.

[Honking nose]

[Giggling] You are funny, Max.

[Both laughing]

I can remember all of my poem,

but I'm still a bit nervous

about getting up in front of my class.

You can use some of my funny tricks!

I appreciate the offer, Max, but I don't think so.

Besides, you'll need your jokes and tricks for Show and Tell.

I know a cute bear.

He is brown and named Freddy.

He's not real, he's stuffed.

The end.

It's a haiku!

Ohh!

Yes.

A haiku is a special kind of poem

where the first line has five syllables,

the second line has seven and the last line has five.

Great work, Louise.

Thank you.

All right, Ruby.

It's your turn to recite your poem.

Okay, Mr. Esteves.

I think I can remember all of it,

but I brought my index cards, just in case.

[Whoopee cushion deflating]

[Students laughing]

It's my brother Max's whoopee cushion.

[Chuckling]

That's okay, Ruby.

It gave the class a laugh!

Um, I think I'll get my index cards out.

[Gasping]

[Toy squeaking]

Ahh! Snake!

Don't worry, it's from Max's joke kit too.

It's not real!

Well, that's a relief!

We don't want a snake slithering around the classroom!

[Giggling]

I love my--

[Laughing]

Oh, no. Again?

Sorry.

Let me guess. Max?

Yes.

They're his trick scarves!

Finally.

You know what?

I don't think I'll need these cards, after all.

Okay, this poem is called "All About Me".

I hope you like it.

Great job, Ruby!

Thank you.

And um, while I'm up here,

Sure! Let's hear it!

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Who.
