I just started back to school this week. Whoa. I forget how much my students can do in a day now versus the beginning of the year. I find myself scrambling to fill time effectively. I plan to be much more prepared next week!! I must say that we did have a great time learning two songs today...The Hokey-Pokey (school dance festival performance is next week) and Down By the Bay (we're practicing our rhyming skills). So I hope you get a kick out of this: we learned the song Down By the Bay (where the watermelon grows...did you ever see a goose kissing a moose, down by the bay...); then we made up our own rhymes to sing in verses. Here's a few:
Did you ever see a hog stuck in a bog? Down by the bay....
Did you ever see a bay kissing a cat? Down by the bay...
Did you ever see a seal mailing a bill? Down by the bay...
It was so fun to try these rhymes!
Just a side note...how do you add music??

Oooo.....oooo....Eric(and his friend) and I are headed out for the midnight show in about 30 minutes. Eric is taking a little pre-excitement nap!!!! We are stoked! I know, I know - it's a school night but,really - how often do you get to do this????
I know that song (Down by the Bay) oh so well. Several years ago it was the theme for the ward float. We (basically the Gulledges, Easleys & I) sang it over and over along the entire parade route for two days. Good times!
PS one way to add music is to make a playlist to add to your sidebar. Visit playlist.com and set up a free account. I checked they do have the Raffi version of "Down by the Bay"
