WE'RE GREAT!

My webmaster has just created a new video to go with my song "We're Great!"  It's a natural way to introduce vocabulary words and positive character traits.  I hope your class will enjoy it.

Hint!  If you're still looking for an idea for an end of year program this might work for you.  One teacher said each child decorated a poster with a letter and word.  The children came out on stage with their letter at the appropriate time as they sang the song.

We’re Great!
We’re great, but no one knows it.
No one knows it so far.
Some day they’ll realize how wonderful we are!
They’ll look at us, and point at us,
and then they’ll shout, “Hurray!”
Let’s cheer how we’re wonderful beginning with A.

Class Book
On the front of the notebook or pocket folder write “We’re Great!” Write a
different letter of the alphabet on each page. Tell the children that you want them to help you make a special dictionary with WONDERFUL words that describe special people just like them! Use the words from the above chant to start your dictionary. Add words that children suggest.
