Day 06 – A song that reminds of you of somewhere
The states and capitals song from Animaniacs will forever remind me of DA- the school where I did my student teaching. In 5th grade, the students are expected to learn all 50 states and their capitals. I made a CD of this song, and each student got a copy of the lyrics. At the end of the day we would sing this a few times. It was a fun way to learn because the song is so full of energy. Before too long we could hear students singing on the way to their parents' cars at the end of the day. This is the part of teaching that I fell in love with.

Good way to beat monotony. It's all about appealing to their imagination I guess. Good that we have teachers like you!
Oh, Anne, that is the part of teaching I am REALLY going to miss this coming school year. It is SO much fun to make learning interesting for the students!
You'll be back, stronger than ever. The students are one lucky bunch :-)
Thanks Anne. I hope you are right!
This is one of my favorites! Thanks for reminding me Karen... xoxo
You're welcome! When I came across this song at first, it reminded me of my brother. He used to love watching the show. I think I'm going to try to find some old episodes for my girls to watch. I bet they would get a kick out of watching them!
