Oh, and you also need to check out all the cute stuff from Malarie at You Can Make the Sunshine Anytime.
Anyway, the kids got a huge kick out of me singing to them, and one of my students decided to make her own contraction song.
I love that she wrote that the tune goes to Yanky doodle went to town!
Oh, and if you didn't notice, there are contractions on the ground . . . so I am literally walking on contractions . . . (yes, that is me, and no, I don't have blond hair!)
Next on my list of things to share with you . . . You may already know that the Super Bowl was played in Indianapolis, right? So it was a really big deal around here. Lots of my kids were down in the festivities more than once. (I only made it there one time . . . a little too crowded for me!)
Anyway, the next day, my whole class came in talking about the Super Bowl and Madonna. One little boy said, can you believe that she is 53 years old?! LOL Then, one of my precious babies said . . . I wish you looked like Madonna. I asked her why. She said, "Then you'd be pretty too!" Okay, so I guess I'm not Madonna, but I don't think I'm ugly! I had to laugh and I guess I'm secure enough to not let it hurt my feelings . . . but still! Too funny!
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Sunday!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the freebies I loved all of them. I did the layered Where in the world are you with my class about a month ago and have gotten lots of positive comments on them.
