My New Classroom!

I loooove my new classroom! Today was Wednesday, advisory day, which means we don't have class and instead do educational activities. Every teacher gets a random mix of students from a particular grade, so they are all big general ed groups. There are schoolwide activities, and then activities the teacher gets to plan, so we had a mini-creative convention: math challenge, perform a song, build a structure that can support the most pennies/books, and Presidents questions. I was very impressed by my creative students! They had to write a song that incorporated India, video game makers, and recycling. My students are obviously the best :-)

Here's a sampling of the lyrics:

Push it, push it, to the limit, limit

Cause we're in it to win it

Oh yeah,

We need to recycle, everyday

Don't litter

What, what, we gotta show them now

We gotta show them how

we recycle

Put it, put it

In the garbage,

Garbage

Oh yeah

(to the tune of Disney Channel's "Push It to the Limit")

and

We recycle

With our bycicale!

We bake cake

With our brakes!

and

Hi my name is Ruem and I live in Purem

I make video games all day

I guess it's a delay

cause that's what my wife says

and

Da na Da na Da na Da na

Somethin somethin somethin

Video game tester in India

and

Here's a rap for you and me!
Let's go to India and see what's happening!

It's the game house, yo yo yo

I'd like to see what's in da game house!

Oh! datz sweet!

There's a game tester it's hard to see!

Oh my God it's Halo 3!

Let me play!

So I can be out of my misuri!
