Friday Morning Fun!

We love Friday mornings in our room.

That's the time we break out Alan Katz's crazy

and hysterically funny songs.  He's written several

books in which he takes familiar tunes and rewrites

the words that make you laugh!

My personal favorite is Stinky, Stinky Diaper Change.

(sung to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

It goes a little like this:

Stinky, stinky diaper change.

Boy my brother smells so strange.

He made something in his pants.

I sure hope it won't attract ants.

Stinky, stinky diaper change

Boy my brother smells so strange!

SILLY, DILLY SONG.....

But guess what everyone this is a great teaching

tool.  I've used these songs to cover new vocabulary,

contractions, rhyming, rhythm, beat, stanzas, 

compound words, and many other language skills.

IT'S been a great reading fluency tool and the kids

don't even realize it.....that's even better.

Now, for anyone who knows me, knows I don't sing

well and can't carry a tune in a bucket.  However, Alora

and Alan (hubs) know that I love to sing loud in the car.

Thank goodness my kiddos don't care if I can sing or not.

We have a blast trying to make these silly songs turn out

right.  It's a HOOT!

Check out this book and more for some laughs!
