Well, This Is Surprising

Huh.

I've recently discovered I possess a weirdly specific skill:

I can write science-themed songs set to the tune of folksongs

for kindergarteners and first graders.

Presented for your singing enjoyment:

This is sung to the tune "Clementine",

which to refresh your memory goes like this:

Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darlin', Clementine,

you are lost and gone forever,

Oh my darlin', Clementine.

I plan to be topping the charts soon with my crow's-voice rendition of

"Thunder" 

(sung to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")

and "Hurricanes"

(sung to "Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore".)

Drafting Off Genius

I someone else is a genius!

A teacher shared at a meeting that you could use a binder

with the clear, front insert as a whiteboard!

She said that you could put a pencil holder inside

with the dry-erase markers, sock eraser, etc.

But those can be 

priiiicy.

And they didn't have any at Target.

So until I find some cheap ones, how about this?

I put packing tape along the edge of a heavy-duty zipper bag,

then hole-punched it!

Genius, right?

I also added a binder clip to turn it into a clipboard.

Then the back can be used for hundreds charts,

ten frames, or whatever.

Teacher hack FTW!!!
