Worksheet 1
Billy jumps out of his bed. He run to the kitchen singing at the top of his lungs. “Billy, you
sure sound happy this morning! says Billy’s mother. “I am!” Billy replies as he sits at the
breakfast table. He gobbles his food down as fast as he could. Then he races out the door and
jumps on the school bus. When the bus pulls up in front of the school Billy is still sinking.
When it was time for class, David whispered, “You better stop singing. You’ll get into
trouble.” But Billy picks another song and continues on. The teacher, Mrs. Grump, is talking
about nouns and verbs when Billy starts his tenth song of the day. Billy’s classmates giggle
and then laugh out loud, but Billy keeps right on singing. Mrs. Grump, however, isn’t
singing at all. She writes a note to Billy’s parents and you know what they decided? No
listening to his IPod for two whole days! So Billy learned to sing only in the shower, in
choir, outdoors, or with his friends. Just about anywhere but in the classroom!
