How to Tell Time! 60 Minutes is an Hour (count by 5's)

Telling Time to the Half Hour

Lyrics: Our teacher said, It’s Monday morning, Let’s go play! It was only 8 AM, And we all screamed hooray! But when It began to rain, That was really recess bliss, And a half an hour passed so fast, The clock told us this! It wasn’t 8 O’Clock it was 8:30 Big hand on the six, We were really very dirty! Big hand on the 6, And we knew that it meant 30 Between the 8 and 8 We saw the little hand go, Recess was over and we screamed, “Oh No!” OH NO! Well our awesome teacher yelled, I’m as proud as a birdy, That you learned the longer hand, On the 6 makes a :30, We washed our muddy hands, In our shiny classroom sink, That made our teacher happy and she gave us all a wink, Let’s have another recess, That starts at 9 O’Clock, Another half hour we were really all in shock! Another Recess? SWEET!

Migration Song- Animal Migrations

A song I wrote for my 3rd Grade students to help them learn about animal migration. Hope you enjoy! Lyrics: Migration, Migration, Moving from station to station, When it’s time for traveling, Migration song is the song we sing… When they gotta’ move, When they gotta’ go quick Animals are doing the migration trick, Flying, crawling, swim, or run, Gotta’ migrate towards food or sun… Migration, Migration, Moving from station to station, When it’s time for traveling, Migration song is the song we sing… There once was a herd of wildebeest, Who liked to eat well, who liked to feast, But each year the food source got depleted, As the land got dry, animals competed… It was time to leave, to start migrating, To where the grass is green, to where the good food’s waiting, They said it’s time, to go migrate, To find a place where the food supply’s still great! Migration, Migration, Moving from station to station, When it’s time for traveling, Migration song is the song we sing… When they gotta’ move, When they gotta’ go quick Animals are doing the migration trick, Flying, crawling, swim, or run, gotta’ migrate towards food or sun… Migration, Migration, Moving from station to station, When it’s time for traveling, Migration song is the song we sing… When they gotta’ move, When they gotta’ go quick Animals are doing the migration trick, Flying, crawling, swim, or run, gotta’ migrate towards food or sun… Migration, Migration, Moving from station to station, When it’s time for traveling, Migration song is the song we sing… A flock of chilly Canadian geese, Looked north south, west, and east, One asked, which way, should we fly to go? How about to the warmth of Mexico! They all agreed and prepared their wings, Honked goose calls, That’s how a goose sings… They took to the sky in a flying V, Stopped for rest occasionally… Picked up more friends along the way, Migrating was work, both night and day… Finally found, the perfect place with ease, where food was around and water didn’t freeze, A nice warm winter resting spot, Same place as last year, is it not? Migration, Migration, Moving from station to station, When it’s time for traveling, Migration song is the song we sing… When they gotta’ move, When they gotta’ go quick Animals are doing the migration trick, Flying, crawling, swim, or run, gotta’ migrate towards food or sun… Migration, Migration, Moving from station to station, When it’s time for traveling, Migration song is the song we sing… There once was a monarch, butterfly Flashing brilliantly as it fluttered in the sky, Summer’s blooming flowers, providing her with food, Always in a happy, good butterfly mood… But the fall brought the cool, and before the cold arrived, Monarch said, I better leave, Before the temperatures dives, Migrating, to go to somewhere warm, I could never survive, a freezing winter storm, I’ll follow the sun, Roost with friends along the way, Then I’ll find a tree, and some eggs I’m gonna’ lay, To hatch into larvae, that turn to butterflies, Who’ll fly back north, through the sunlit skies! Migration, Migration, Moving from station to station, When it’s time for traveling, Migration song is the song we sing… When they gotta’ move, When they gotta’ go quick Animals are doing the migration trick, Flying, crawling, swim, or run, gotta’ migrate towards food or sun… Migration, Migration, Moving from station to station, When it’s time for traveling, Migration song is the song we sing… Migration is when animals move from one location to another. Usually animals migrate to places that are warmer or that have better food supplies. Migrating animals generally travel during the same season every year. Many different animals migrate- some walk or run, like wildebeest, some fly, like birds and insects, and some swim, like fish and whales. Reptiles, such as snakes and sea turtles are also known to migrate. The arctic tern, a bird, is believed to have the longest migration of any animal. It is known to travel some 71,000 kilometers (or 44,000 miles) round trip from the arctic to the Antarctic every year. Migration, Migration, Moving from station to station, When it’s time for traveling, Migration song is the song we sing… When they gotta’ move, When they gotta’ go quick Animals are doing the migration trick, Flying, crawling, swim, or run, gotta’ migrate towards food or sun… Migration, Migration, Moving from station to station, When it’s time for traveling, Migration song is the song we sing…

Winter song - a 4 seasons sing-a-long

Lyrics:

It's the winter, winter season,
Hope it snows, my toes they froze!
With the coldest, coldest, weather,
Hope it snows, on Rudolphs nose!

Winter, winter,
Right after autumn,
Before the springtime's warm sun-rays...
Winter, winter,
My nose is freezing!
Has very short,
And very cold days!

It's the winter, winter season,
Hope it snows, my toes they froze,
With the coldest, coldest, weather,
Hope it snows, on Rudolphs nose!

Wear gloves and jackets to stay warm,
Snowy, sleet, and hail in a wintery storm,
Sledding, skiing, skate on ice,
So many flakes are falling with shapes so nice...
Earth is tilting from the sun,
Winter times a great time for cold fun!
Join us on this winter's day,
Winter seasons great, a time to play!

Winter, winter,
Right after autumn,
Before the springtime's warm sunrays...
Winter, winter,
My nose is freezing!
Has very short,
And very cold days!

Fall song (autumn song for learning the 4 seasons!)

LYRICS

Autumn's the season when colored leaves fly,
When we give summer, a big wave goodbye...
Autumn's the season with leaves red and gold,
Just after summer, before winter's cold...

Leaves are falling,
Falling, falling,
Leaves are falling to the ground...
Leaves are falling,
Falling, falling,
Leaves are falling,
Make no sound...

Autumns after summer,
Give summer a wave goodbye,
The season before winter,
Before the cold of winter time...

Autumn's the season when colored leaves fly,
When we give summer, a big wave goodbye...
Autumn's the season with leaves red and gold,
Just after summer, before winter's cold...

Leaves are falling,
Falling, falling,
Leaves are falling to the ground...
Leaves are falling,
Falling, falling,
Leaves are falling,
Make no sound...

Water cycle song

Lyrics:

Evaporation,
Condensation,
Back to Earth as precipitation,
A world-wide water, celebration,
Share fresh water with every nation!

Water cycle, water cycle,
Bring fresh water to me,
Water cycle, water cycle,
Fills the lakes, the streams, and the seas...

The Sun's the cycle's driving engine,
Starts up water's
EVAPORATION
Cools in air,
CONDENSATION
Rain, sleet snow,
PRECIPITATION!

Water cycle, water cycle,
Bring fresh water to me,
Water cycle, water cycle,
Fills the lakes, the streams and the seas...

Fills up lakes, and streams, and seas,
Wets the land for plants and trees,
From rat to bat,From plant and seed,
It's every living things basic need!

Water cycle, water cycle,
Bring fresh water to me,
Water cycle, water cycle,
Fills the lakes, streams and seas...

H20 cycles,
In every clime,
Same water's been around,
Since Jurassic times!
You help keep our water fresh,
But we gotta do our part,
Not to make a mess!

Water cycle, water cycle,
It's fresh water you give,
Water cycle, water cycle,
Living things need you to live...

Water cycle, water cycle
It's fresh water you give,
Water cycle, water cycle,
Living things need you to live...

Summer Song - 4 seasons Science Song!

LYRICS/LETRA:

Well it's sum-sum-sum-summertime,
Don't know a 'funner' time!
Just let the sunshine shine!
This season's so divine!
Sum-sum-summertime,
Don't know a 'funner' time!
This season's yours and mine!

The one after spring,
The one before fall,
Summer's the season,
I like best of all...
I like to swim,
Come and jump right in,
Watch the plants grow,
Don't think about the snow...
I like the bees,
Pollinating the¬ trees,
I love the summer time...

Well it's sum-sum-sum-summertime,
Don't know a 'funner' time!
Just let the sunshine shine!
This season's so divine!
Sum-sum-summertime,
Don't know a 'funner' time!
This season's yours and mine!

The one after spring,
The one before fall,
Birds are back north,
I can hear them all call,
Every thing's alive,
Like the flying butterflies,
The leaves are glowing green,
Frogs are swimming in the stream,
I'm feeling really great,
The sun's out really late!
I love the summer time...

Well it's sum-sum-sum-summertime,
Don't know a 'funner' time!
Just let the sunshine shine!
This season's so divine!
Sum-sum-summertime,
Don't know a 'funner' time!
This season's yours and mine!


Between spring and fall,
And that's not all,
The hottest days of the year...
When it's summer in places,
North of the equator,
It's winter in the southern hemisphere!

Between spring and fall,
And that's not all,
Longest days of the year...
When it's summer in places,
North of the equator,
It's winter in the southern hemisphere!

Well it's sum-sum-sum-summertime,
Don't know a 'funner' time!
Just let the sunshine shine!
This season's so divine!
Sum-sum-summertime,
Don't know a 'funner' time!
This season's yours and mine!

Geometry Song + lyrics

LYRICS/LETRA:

Geometry, geometry,
Gives us all our shapes you see...
Circles, squares, prisms, spheres,
Shapes that look like rabbit ears...

Shapes of grapes, and apes, and apes,
Hiding out behind the drapes,
Time to make a great escape,
When shapes are forming into apes...

Geometry, geometry,
Gives us all our shapes you see,
Circles, squares, prisms, spheres,
Shapes that look like rabbit ears...

Shapes of scrapes,
Shapes of plates,
Naming, using,
All those shapes,
Circles, squares, polygons,
And all the shapes you've ever drawn...

Circles, squares, polygons,
All the shapes you've ever drawn,
Ovals, cubes, prisms, spheres,
Shapes that look like rabbits ears!
Hexagon,
And octagon,
And pentagon,
All be gone!
Pyramids here,
Squares over there,
All the shapes that I can bear!

Geometry, geometry,
Gives us all our shapes you see...
Circles, squares, prisms, spheres,
Shapes that look like rabbit ears...

Angles, curves, diamonds, swerves,
Shapes I often do observe,
Make me dizzy,
Make me sigh,
Geometry's one busy guy!!!

Circles squares prisms spheres
Shapes that look like rabbit's ears
Hexagons, pentagons, polygons,
And octagons,
And septagons,
And nonagons,
All those gons,
Now they're gone!

Rhombus, circle, trapezoid,
Shapes we use to fill a void,
Oval, cubes, and triangle,
Don't forget the rectangle!
Spiral, angle, cone, star wedge,
Even shapes that have no edge!
Pyramid, Parallelogram
Geometry is who I am!
