One thing I've noticed about our students is that the majority of them are musical learners. Any chant, song or rhyme we teachers share get absorbed faster than anything else we may present.
We will start in Kindergarten. Mrs. Godbout shared the Shape Rhymes that she uses in her class. Some of the shape rhymes she found online, but the hexagon, rhombus, and octagon rhymes are Godbout Originals!
Take it away Mrs. Godbout!
Next we visit Ms. Payton in 1st grade who shared her song that she uses to teach Vowels! Notice she is also introducing sign-language to her students!
Second grade had two teachers who wanted to share their wisdom. Mrs. Hassleberg shared how she teaches her student some of their sight words!
One thing I love about teachers- ANYTHING can become a song or rhyme! In fact, I came up with a little jingle for my reading groups to learn their sight words. One goes like this:
Third grade's Mrs. Wann shared a neat trick to making sure her students know the difference between a "b" and a "d". She found this idea on Pinterest.
Cute, huh? Mrs. Wann deserves a thumbs-up for sharing that awesome trick! I don't know about you, but this helps me too! :)
Fourth grade's Mr. Kirby has been working hard with his students teaching them the Parts of a Cell. He is utilizing the technology in his room by making a flip chart for his Promethean, and he is keeping his students attention by adding fun movements!
Mr. Kirby is such a great guy, he granted me permission to share his great song!
We spell the with a T-H-E
T-H-E
T-H-E
We spell the with a T-H-E
Every day!
Next, Mrs. Brock shares her Synonyms chant. Her students love getting into the beat, and it works with Antonyms too!

Parts of a Cell
The nucleus is insane, because it is the cell's brain!

The vacuole is kind of rude, because it hogs the water and food!
The cytoplasm is the gel that fills the inside of a cell!
The cell membrane is cool as well, it's the outer layer of the cell!
The mitochondria are very mighty, they give the cell energy!
You just learned the parts of a cell, and all of these are organelles!
Last, but certainly not least, the fifth grade team came together to share a Linking Verbs Cheer, as taught by Ms. G! (the cheerleaders are Ms. Waddell and Ms. White) Go Team!
With such great teachers, is it any wonder why I love my job? Great job, CHES Team! Thanks for sharing!
I love this!! How fun to get a peak at other grade levels... Keith pointed out I said "Shape Shongs" oh well...
