II1:<br >LIP<br >Is All Of You Here?<br > One for the money， two for the show， three to get ready--on your<br >mark， get set--warming up. Children know about it: so do dancers，<br >singers， musicians， and athletes. People in love understand it and so do<br >people who drive cars and people called astronauts. Warming up--a<br >getting ready process， a transition from before to will be， the end of<br >something， the beginning of something else， a bridge.<br > Everyone needs warm-ups but not everybody knows that. At 8:30 A.M.<br >in Room 3 Mrs. Pinkerton s second graders are showing and telling.<br >Mrs. Reece s class in Room 6 is not. Everybody gets right down to<br >business. Robert s in math but he can t concentrate. He s still in social<br >studies， where he s not supposed to be. It was over at 10 A.M. Mondays<br >are cold and so are 8 o clocks. Fridays and 11:30 A.M. are pretty warm.<br > Maybe these words are warming up your page as they go along， and<br >the pages will warm up the book. Try some of the games and exercises.<br >See if they warm you up. See if you feel more like you. This whole book<br >is a warm-up， by the way.<br > As you read， you ll find questions， experiences， and things to do.<br >Keep a journal of what you think and feel about what you do. Invent<br >something of your own. Let yourself be seen.<br >XlX<br >
