We glued the 7 continents and 4 oceans onto a painted paper plate. The best part was singing "We've got the Whole Globe in Our Hands" by Dr. Jean. They wanted to hold their paper plates and sing and dance. The catchy tune makes learning the continents easy! There's also a cute ocean song on her Sing to Learn CD. Continents Printable from The Mailbox Magazine Click HERE to go to her website. Click HERE for printable lyrics. The song is called The Continents.
Disclaimer: embarrassing story to follow... Back in December (yes, 7ish months ago), we were in the middle of our geography unit. I searched YouTube for a catchy song to help my students remember the names of the continents and oceans, but I found nothing that A) had all of the info I needed or B) was of good quality. So my teammie and I wrote our own song! The continents verse is actually something I picked up while student teaching 9 years ago, and we wrote the oceans verse. We sang our hearts out and it was glorious! Then we decided that if we couldn't find anything we liked on YouTube, how many other teachers were feeling the same way? We talked to the tech department and got the permissions we needed to make our own YouTube video! We were READY, and the kids were SO excited! They were going to be FAMOUS!!! We were scheduled to film the video the day before Winter Break, and the plan was that I would edit it and put it together over Winter Break. Then nature happened. We didn't have school that last day before Winter Break due to an ice storm. We rescheduled for a day when we got back, except... you guessed it, our pal Polar Vortex wasn't going to allow it. Third time was a charm though, because we did end up filming in mid-January. Then my life happened. And then I forgot about it. The video camera I checked out from my school's library sat at my house for MONTHS. I know. SO embarrassing! Then the last week of school I got a print out of what I still needed to return to the library, and the video camera was on the list! I about died! So on the eve of the last day of school (while I'm juggling report cards and other EOY duties), I stayed up way past my bedtime to put the video together: Click on the image above to see the video on YouTube The video is unlisted, so I suggest you either bookmark it or pin this post so you can come back to it when you need it. Better late than never, right? It was a fun way for us to end the school year remembering one of the topics we learned about in Social Studies. What did you make this week? Link up with 4th Grade Frolics to share with us!
