 Student will read, “The Yogurt Flies Straight From My Brothers Hair” from the book Take me out
of the bathtub.

the pictures on the page help to describe what is happening in the poem.
 Student will use the strategy, visualizing, to create a mental picture in their head about the word
choice that is used throughout the poem and what certain phrases from the story look like.

Overview of Learning/Reflection:
 “The Yogurt Flies Straight From My Brother”
(To the tune of “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean”)

The yogurt flies straight from by brother

The peaches zoom toward me from my sis
When she gets home I bet my mother
Says we shouldn’t food fight like this!

Food fight! Food fight!

There’s food on the counter and chairs! And chairs!
Food fight! Food fight!
There’s tons of meat loaf in my hair!

My brother flicks peas with his fork and

They zip down my shirt with a splat
Next I see a big piece of pork land
On my head like it’s a new hat!

Food fight! Food fight!

Clean up, there is no time to spare, to spare
Food fight! Food fight!
Got carrots in my underwear!

We should stop, but it’s so much fun that

I yell for one more ice-cream bomb
It soars down the hall to the front door
And into the face of… our mom!

Food fight! Food fight!

There’ll be no more food fights for me, for me
Food fight! Food fight!
I’m grounded till I’m twenty-three!
