Hmm.. I think that one sounds neat! I think that’s a cute idea, and they really would have a good time with that!

we come to school each day
so we can learn and play
how to count and how to read
our teachers there in the lead
she (or he) helps up with the things we do
yes we love to be in school!

(teacher) Everywhere we go
(kids) Everywhere we go
(teacher) People wanna know
(kids) People wanna know
(teacher) Who we are
(kids) Who we are
(teacher) So we tell them
(kids) So we tell them
(teacher) We are the readers
(kids) We are the readers
(teacher) the mighty mighty readers
(kids) the mighty mighty readers
(teacher) Bring on the ABC’s
(kids) Bring on the ABC’s
(teacher) Or the 1 2 3′s
start again at the top
make sure you say the last syllable of every sentence double
(i.e. everywhere we go-oh)

Good idea, but if you are going to have them march to a cadence, make sure you get the meter right.
“Our math is out of sight ” doesn’t work.
It should be “Our new math is out of sight.” 7 beats.
We can count and we can add,
10 plus 10 is not so bad.
We play soccer in the mud,
Go home dirty as an Idaho spud.
We learn new things every day,
sometimes work and sometimes play.
Maybe a cadence from “Those Caissons go Rolling Along”
would work. (Over hill, over dale, we will hit the dusty trail as those caissons ,go rolling, along one two three.)
Good luck!

We like ice cream, we like cake
eat too much our bellies ache
grains and dairy, veggies too
we like stuff that’s good for you
Brush our teeth and go to school
Learning stuff is really cool
Sound off (1 2)
Sound off (3 4)
Sound off 1 2 3 4 Sound off!
Learn to read and write things well
count our numbers, learn to spell
Alphabet and ABCs
Animals and plants and trees
First we get our homework done
Then we play and have some fun
Sound off (1 2)
Sound off (3 4)
Sound off 1 2 3 4 Sound off!
