A New School
When Tyrone got off the school bus at his home one day, he
saw a yellow bulldozer down the street. He wanted to take a
look, but he had homework to do. The next day, there was a
backhoe next to the bulldozer. Both machines roared.
Tyrone thought it looked busy down there. Not long after
that, he saw a cement truck. The back was spinning as it
unloaded the wet, gray cement. Each day, something new
appeared. Steel beams stretched into the sky. Bricks
climbed the walls. It was starting to look like a real building.
When he saw a group of men wearing white hardhats, Tyrone
asked his mom if he could take a closer look. The building
looked even bigger as he walked toward it.

A New School
“What are you building?” Tyrone asked one of the
men.
“We are building a new school,” the man said. “In
fact, you’ll probably be going to this school next
year. Your are pretty lucky!”
Tyrone smiled. He could not wait. When he went to
that new school, he would not have to take the
bus. He could play on the playground all the time,
too. “Yes”, Tyrone said, “I am luckier than you
know!”

As I read “Keys to the Universe,” I am going to read
at a rate that will be interesting to listen to. I will
make my voice go slower at important lines in the
poem to show that they are serious. I am going to
listen to myself so I can hear whether I am
getting slower or faster when I should not be.
I want you to track the print as I read.
