IF YOU KNOW YOUR TEACHER LOVES YOU!

Need a little tip for the day?

This is a simple idea that Elizabeth Hofmaster shared with me several years ago.  She sings this song each day as her children leave. It reminds me that for some child this might be the "sweetest" thing they hear all day!

If You Know Your Teacher Loves You (Tune: "If You're Happy and You Know It")
If you know your teacher loves you blow her a kiss.
If you know your teacher loves you blow her a kiss.
If you know your teacher loves you and she really likes to hug you...
If you know your teacher loves you blow her a kiss.

Note!  I also think this would be a great way to start your day or focus your children's attention when you want to "scream" this week. 

I Am Slowly Going Crazy
When I would be about to explode, I would sit down in a chair and start singing this song.  At first my class really thought I was going crazy, but eventually they saw the humor and we would all end up laughing.  It became a great attention grabber and a fun way for all 

of us to relax and smile.

I Am Slowly Going Crazy
(Tune: "Reuben, Reuben, I’ve Been Thinking")
I am slowly going crazy, (Cross right ankle on left knee. Place right
elbow on right knee and place chin on palm.)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, switch. (Cross left ankle on right knee and place
chin on left palm.)
Crazy going slowly am I, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, switch.
Continue singing faster and faster.

*Brainstorm other things you can do when you feel like you’re going crazy!

*Make a class book of “Things That Drive Us Crazy!”
