I read your blog almost everyday and I'm consistently inspired, amazed, and surprised...but today you seriously blew me away by posting the lyrics to one of my all-time favorite songs! Do you sing it with your class? I've tried it out with my class before but it didn't really take.
I enjoyed the pictures here that went with the lyrics to this song!
It worked well!!

Interesting, one of the centres I'd been to of late had been told by the Department of Community services advisor (DOC's) to remove a number of newly planted trees and all the lower branches of a number of established trees. The reason, because the children MAY attempt to climb them and MAY hurt themselves. There are no DOC's regulations that relate to vegetation.

@Chris . . . I've thought about singing it with the kids, but haven't tried it so far. I suspect it would be all about the large motor stuff we came up with to do with it. One trick I've learned when introducing a more complicated song like this, is to start with just the chorus, then bring in the versus with just the oldest kids at first. Once they know the whole song, they start demanding it in the larger group.
@Tess . . . The same kinds of things are happening around here too. If you let your imagination be in charge, you can always come up with ways for kids to hurt themselves. The kids, on the other hand, will actually hurt themselves while doing things you couldn't imagine. The worst injury we've ever had at our school was a boy who fell while walking on a clean, dry, flat linoleum floor. He busted his chin open and had to have stitches.
