December Calendar Songs…and a new blog!

So sorry this is so late!  I’m still recovering from my vacation and we had report cards due today! To top it all off hubby is out of town on business for 2 weeks! Thank goodness he gets to come home on the weekends.

But, before I share the goodies with you, I want to introduce you to a new blog!!! This blog is written by one of my fabulous kindergarten friends.  I am so lucky to be able to call her my friend – she is amazing, guys!  She has such a kind heart and is a fantastic teacher.

So, stop on by to Live, Laugh Love K and say hi to my friend, Sheyna.  While you’re there click that little follow button, and leave her a comment, okay?  It will make her (and me!) ever so happy!

Last month, I shared with you some of the lines that did not make it…this time I was rhyming with cheer…..and ending up with beer….. hmmmm…..

And the calendar book pages:

Enjoy!

PS – I read each and every one of your comments, so if you snag this, please leave me a little note! I would love to see how many of you are downloading and using these in your classroom!

Shelli said...

My kids love the calendar songs! They love to be able to sing the whole song without the teacher!

Lynola said...

Thank you for the December song. My class and I were talking about it during calendar this morning. They love the month songs!

Mrs. Joanna Brockhoff said...

My kiddos love to sing your calendar songs!

Mrs. "Bossy" said...

Thanks so much!!! I love it all! Maybe a dumb question, but can you explain what you do with the color/temp tally marks? I must have missed that one. Thanks for sharing!

Joni Taylor said...

My kids and team are loving your songs. Thanks so much!

Joni Taylor said...

Quick question-how do you use the temperature tally?

Gretchen said...

THANK YOU!! We love to sing your songs!!

Becki said...

HOORAY!!!!! We absolutely LOVE to sing your songs during calendar every day. My students softly sing the songs throughout the day while they are working. Thank you so much for your generosity. I wish you a wonderful month of December and a delightfully Merry Christmas.

Kathleen said...

The temperature tally is from the Everyday math program -- the thermometer is broken down into colors, and we just tally the "color" after we find the temp on the thermometer. It's so funny when they finally get to tally a white -- they get SOOOOO excited -- not me though, since that is below zero!!!

angela said...

Love them!!! Thanks so much!!

Amy G said...

Thank you so much! I have been checking back all day, eagerly anticipating the December song!

Alicia M said...

My kids love these monthly songs! I was showing them the face that their parents might make when they realize that they can spell these long words! =O They love it!

jen wade said...

thank you thank you thank you! my kids LOVE these songs and always want to sing them without the me - they get so excited when they can do it on their own and announce "i'm really getting the hang of it!"

Freckleteacher said...

Thank you! I love the December poem and I plan on doing it with my class this month! It will go well with our calendar books that we do now at calendar time. I better run them for tomorrow! Thank you!

SO all in all...Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for this very appreciative 1st year teacher and TpT customer. :-)

Thank you so much for posting these pages! I use them on my English days in my dual language classroom and my kids LOVE them. My fellow teachers are also wanting to use this calendar routine because it's so interactive! Thanks again!!

Cheryl said...

Thank you so much for the month songs! I snag them for my calendar binder every month and the kids just adore them. I also love the idea of putting a "starter dot" for the tally mark pages - I can't believe I haven't seen that before. Brilliant!!!

Thank you so much for the calendar song! My K4's totally love singing them, and are anxious to start singing about December. I told them if I couldn't find (your song) by tomorrow morning, I'd have to make one up. Thank you so much!

Cathy G said...

My kids loved your November song and I am so glad to see your December song! In my school we don't celebrate Christmas so I love it when I find something like this that is very usable. Thanks so much and keep em coming!

Delaney White said...

Mrs. Murray said...

Thanks very much! Somehow I missed this post yesterday!! ...anywho when we began our morning calendar today my kiddos were totally bummed we didn't have a new song...and I told them that I hadn't found one I liked yet but I would share it with them as soon as I found it...they LOVED your November song...thanks!!

jpgk53 said...

My students love the songs you have written. They were disappointed today when I didn't have the December song. (I was out last night and didn't have time to check your blog). They will be so happy tomorrow when they learn the new song! Thanks for sharing!!

Carmen said...

I waited until you posted the song last night. I am so glad I found you in this blog, you have helped me a lot :) I have been sharing the songs with my K-Team and they all love it. Thanks for all you do!

Mrs. L. said...

.....I love the temperature tally chart...so glad I found your site, can't wait to try it out.

jami said...

I made up my own December calendar song to "Jingle Bells" before I saw this! :) Mine goes:

December
D-E-C E-M-B-E-R
Light the tree
For you and me
And watch the falling snow -- ow!

Then we just repeat it again :)
My kids LOVE IT!
I think I used your October song as well and my kids are STILL wanting to sing it. haha
I must have missed the November song post because I didn't have a spelling song for the month and I think my kiddos might have been mad at me haha
Thanks for the great posts and ideas!

Terri said...

I'm slow finding your songs. My class has been sad that I didn't have them on day one. Thanks for posting!!!

How do you use the colors and the weather page?
