Lesson Plan

I am adding to my blog for my lesson templates. To the left is directions for students to follow.

Can your students actually get to your blog site? I'm surprised--so many of the rest of us can't get to ours at school.

At any rate, I love the question and the directions on how to answer it. Good job! If you don't mind, I would like to answer it as well--not that I will be able to do as well as you or your students when answering it!

I think one of my favorite songs to sing with my classes has been Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. (During the month of October when we're talking about ghosts, ghouls, and other monsters, we sing Horns, Fangs, Knees and Claws.) My students love it when we start very slow singing it and helping them touch each area as mentioned. We then sing it faster and faster until we are going so fast we can't keep up with where our hands are supposed to be. The students laugh and laugh if we (my assistants and I) mess it up! About the 4th run through of the song we invariably sing it correctly but we get mixed up when we touch the students' knees instead of toes or their shoulder instead of the head. When singing the Halloween version, they laugh even harder at us--I think they are trying to figure out if we really have horns and fangs or not!
