I’ve been working really hard on writing singing telegrams for the teachers for our school’s teacher appreciation week next week, and I think I’m finally almost ready. I just finished this one, let me know what you think.
It’s sung to the tune of MY FAVORITE THINGS
Reading and music and artwork and spelling;
Adding, subtracting and good story telling;
Adjectives, adverbs and all parts of speech;
These are some things that a teacher will teach.
Coming in early to plan out your lessons
Helping the kids with their big backpack messes
Recess and dodgeball, walking the halkwalk;
Teachers at Highland Elementary ROCK!
Grading the homework and giving the tests;
You work so hard and we think you’re the best;
We’d like to thank you for all that you do;
We think you’re great and the kids think that, too.
When the kids scream,
Or they throw up,
When You’re feeling sad,
You simply remember how much they love you
And then you don’t feel so bad.
Most excellent. I could even sing it (in my head) and stay with the tune – that’s very hard for me.
You’re most talented and your school is lucky to have you.
Clever, clever, girl!
