Every Monday we sing to the word wall. I wish I had made this up, because it's a great little ditty. I believe I saw it years ago on a word wall video. Anyway, you might try it, and the kids won't know or care if you don't get the tune just right. They won't even care if you're pitchy. They might just remember how to spell some words though. (Sorry I can't show you where the voices are coming from.)
Here's a copy of the words if you were hoping for them. I inserted the word "the" as an example. Happy singing!
Can you come sing in my class? I can't sing, but you are right. The kids don't care! Super cute activity!

Lori, thanks for listening. Most people who say they can't sing, really can. :)
DeleteI love your idea for singing the word wall. I thought you and the kids sounded great!! I'm going to give it a try with my class using our spelling words.

Connie, I'm glad that you tracked me down. I enjoyed visiting your blog. Enjoy this song with your kids!
DeleteOh, my! I LOVE this and will definitely be using it!! You sound a whole lot better than me!
ReplyDeleteI can't sing at all. You should hear me teaching the Star Spangled Banner. It's a riot!

Dee, even I would not enjoy teaching The Star Spangled Banner to little people. That's not an easy song. Give the word wall song a whirl!
DeleteI always rhymed and sung in my classroom - it is the best way to teach the little ones!!! This is soo cute!!
