Is your name on your paper?

Miss Kindergarten (aka Hadar) is having a fun linky party all about singing songs with students.

Boy, I can relate!!  I sing EVERYTHING (I learned this trick from one of the best first grade teachers I know, Mrs. Maron) and it sure does work!

When teaching preschool last year I came up with a short little song/chant to getting kids excited about putting their name on their paper {a necessity for all classrooms}.

Here is goes...

If your name is on your paper shout hooray, HOORAY! (children shout hooray)

If your name is on your paper, If your name is on your paper,

If your name is on your paper, shout hooray,  HOORAY!

My pre-k kiddos LOVED this song and you better believe they ALL had their names on their papers!  Side Note: I always warned them that I would be singing the song soon.

Another song/chant I used a lot was when the students were in line and I was ready to get them prepared for the hall.

My hands are tucked behind my back

I'm standing straight and tall.

My eyes are looking toward the front,

I'm ready for the hall.

Thanks for stopping by!
