National Organizing Week
Reading Comprehension for May 7
"Haley!" Mom called from the top of the stairs.
"Yes?" Haley answered, coming out of the kitchen and walking to the stairs.
"Can you come up here, please?" said Mom.
"Sure, what's up?" Haley asked, climbing up the stairs and following Mom.
They tried to enter Haley's bedroom. Mom had to push a pile of clothes out of the way to get in.
"Look at this room!" Mom said, putting her hands on her hips.
Haley grinned nervously. "I was going to clean it. Really, Mom, right after I have a snack."
"The snack can wait. This room doesn't just need to be cleaned, it needs to be organized," said Mom.
Haley's eyes lit up. "Hey, we talked about that this week! It's National Organizing Week. I have a list of tips in my notebook downstairs."
Mom gave Haley a serious look and put her hand on Haley's shoulder. The young girl looked up humbly at her mom.
"Why don't you go and get it," Mom said somberly. "Then we'll sit right here in the hall and see which tips we can use on your room."
"O.K.," said Haley, and she turned and went down the stairs two at a time.
While Haley went off to get her notebook, Mom went to the attic and brought down three empty boxes. She met Haley outside the bedroom a few minutes later.
"See right here, Mom," said Haley, pointing to her notebook. "There's a whole list of ideas for getting organized."
