Hello, my reading friends! Are you ready for a fun story? Today, we’re going to read about Pete the Cat and his cool new school shoes. Let’s see what adventures Pete has at school!
Here comes Pete, walking down the street in his bright red shoes. He’s going to school and singing a happy song: “I’m rocking in my school shoes!” Can you sing along with Pete?
Pete is in his classroom when the teacher says, “Let’s go to a room with books on every wall.” Do you know what room that is? It’s the library! Pete has never been there before, but he doesn’t worry. He finds a book he likes and sings: “I’m reading in my school shoes!”
Now, Pete is in a big, noisy room with lots of tables. Can you guess where he is? That’s right, the lunchroom! Even though it’s busy, Pete isn’t worried. He sits with his friends and sings: “I’m eating in my school shoes!”
After lunch, Pete and his friends go outside to a place with swings and slides. Do you know where they are? It’s the playground! Pete loves to play and sings: “I’m playing in my school shoes!”
All day long, Pete does many fun things. He sings: “I’m singing in my school shoes,” “I’m painting in my school shoes,” and “I’m adding in my school shoes.” Pete is having a great day!
When school is over, Pete rides the bus home. His mom asks, “What did you do at school today?” Pete smiles and says, “I was rocking in my school shoes!”
Did you have fun with Pete today? I hope you enjoyed the story. See you next time for more adventures!

Can you find a place where you can read, eat, or play? Share with your friends what you like to do in each place, just like Pete does in the story.
Create Your Own Adventure Song: Pete loves to sing about what he’s doing in his school shoes. Can you make up your own song about something fun you do at school?

Here comes Pete, strolling down the street, rocking red shoes on his four furry feet. Pete is going to school, and he sings this song:
“I’m rocking in my school shoes.”
You got it!
“I’m rocking in my school shoes.”
Oh yeah!
Pete is sitting at his desk when his teacher says, “Come on, Pete, down that hall to a room with books on every wall.” Where is Pete going? What do you think, reading friends? What do you call the room in a school that has books on every wall? The library! Pete has never been to the library before. Does Pete worry? Goodness, no! He finds his favorite book and sings his song:
“I’m reading in my school shoes.”
You read it, Pete!
“I’m reading in my school shoes.”
What a great story!
“I’m reading in my school shoes.”
You go, Pete!
He’s ready to eat in a big noisy room with tables and seats. Where is Pete? I bet you can guess, reading friends—the lunchroom! It can be loud and busy in the lunchroom. Does Pete worry? Goodness, no! He sits down with his friends and sings his song:
“I’m eating in my school shoes.”
Munch and crunch!
“I’m eating in my school shoes.”
Yum, yum!
Pete and his friends are playing outside on a green grassy field with swings and tall slides. Where is Pete? I think you’re all very familiar with this kind of place, reading friends. Where do you think he is? The playground! Kids are running in every direction. Does Pete worry? Goodness, no! He slides and swings and sings his song:
“I’m playing in my school shoes.”
Swing up to the sky!
“I’m playing in my school shoes.”
All day long, Pete sings his song:
“I’m singing in my school shoes.”
Sing it, Pete!
“I’m painting in my school shoes.”
Move that brush!
“I’m adding in my school shoes.”
Add those numbers!
“I’m riding in my school shoes.”
Great job!
When school is done, Pete rides the bus home. Pete’s mom asks him, “What did you do at school today?” And Pete says,
“I was rocking in my school shoes.”
You rocked it, Pete!
“I was rocking in my school shoes.”
You really did rock in your school shoes!
Oh yeah!
And I will do it again tomorrow because it’s all good. Did you have fun rocking out with Pete? I know I sure did! I hope you enjoyed our story today. See you next time!
