well we had some fun learnin' today in kindergarten. we talked about, read about, drew, and sang about the letter P. each student (groups of 2 or 3) drew a pizza then put "P" toppings on the slices. some of the choices included pretzels, pepperoni, peaches, peppers, pie, pigs...
while we drew/colored/discussed/practiced the beginning sound /P/, i remembered the great Laurie Berkner song, "my mom has a pig on her head"....and she keeps it there all day. i was laughing at my brilliance, and then realized i was singin' a solo, and then horrified, noticed that the classroom teacher was lookin' at me out of the corner of her eye. maybe i should teach her the song.
overall, we had a great time singing ridiculous objects onto our heads, and eventually the students gave into the silliness, and one fell on the floor laughing. and i am glad. pleased as pumpkin punch. please laugh in kindergarten, and have a little fun with your learning.
here are the lyrics as i best recall:
my mom has a PIG on her head (3x)
and she keeps it there all day
you can insert any object specific to your category--/P/ words, fruits, veggies, etc.
the photo is laurie berkner, not me--just to be clear

Awesome! Not a particularly substantive comment, but I feel it summed it up.
