We Celebrate Presidents' Day Song for Shared Reading

I posted on Facebook last night that I LOVE that there are sites devoted to basically rhyming dictionaries. That makes me so happy! I know you have probably been using things like this forever, but it was a new find for me. :) I like www.rhymer.com and www.rhymezone.com.

All I can say is WATCH OUT! Now I'm going to feel compelled to make all kinds of songs that don't truly have the right number of syllables to match the tune, but it's not going to stop me from creating! Ha!


I created a song for Shared Reading called We Celebrate Presidents' Day to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic. (In case you aren't familiar with the tune, you can find a midi file here.) I created three copies to be used. Click on the picture below to purchase this song through my TpT store.

A Printables Challenge from Teaching Heart {I've Included Freebies!}

Yesterday, I came across the Amazon Gift Card Giveaway at Teaching Heart. I loved the challenge of only being able to use Microsoft Clip Art and having limited topics. As you can tell, I'm quite the Scrappin' Doodles lover, so I felt a tad bit intimidated and limited by only being able to use MS Clip Art, but thrilled to be able to get myself out of the little box I tend to get in creatively. :) 

By the time I found the giveaway, I had to go pick up my son from school and I had an appointment to get my hair highlighted, so I was really anxious to get back home and start working on as many things as I could in a short amount of time. See what I came up with below. :)

All of these printables have multiple pages, so you can click on the picture or the link and it will take you to all of the pages. I just added a picture of the first page of each one. Enjoy!

Do you love Jack Hartmann as much as I do? You will now!!! :)


In case you don't know, I LOVE Jack Hartmann and his music! I got to see him last year at Conference on the Young Years and he is so funny and energetic and his songs are catchy and full of fun for my Kindergarten kiddos and me! :) I am so excited that he is now offering his CD's as MP3 downloads!

What's even better than his new MP3 downloads?

The fact that he's offering Lil' Country Kindergarten readers a 20% discount on all orders over $10 with the coupon code LilCountryMP3 through November 1st!!! The code will give you a one time discount on each item in your cart, not just MP3 downloads, so feel free to mix and match! Just head over to his newly redesigned site and start shopping! http://www.jackhartmann.com/  You'll be so glad you did!

Between this offer and the email I got below, I am pretty sure I scared my Kindergarten kiddos with my giddiness today!


Jack Hartmann with my two co-workers and me!
My kiddos and I are currently in love with his DVD, Movin' with Jack--mainly because they can't get enough of the Silly Pirate Song and Humpty Dumpty. They are hilarious doing Hip-Hop Tooty Ta! It's one of those songs with actions that you truly hope no one walks into your classroom and observes you doing with the students! Ha! Apparently it's not as cute when you're doing it at 36 as it was when you are 5 or 6. :) However, it's soooo much fun and it's a great song to get the wiggles out.

Just try to get these catchy songs out of your head! :) I dare ya!
