(To the tune of “I Was Working on the Railroad”)
I’ve been learning punctuation all the live long day. I’ve been learning punctuation just to pass the time away.

When I write a telling sentence, how do I know when to stop? I put a period at the end. It looks just like a dot. Period at the end, period at the end, put a period at the end. Period at the end, period at the end, put a period at the end.

I’ve been learning punctuation all the live long day. I’ve been learning punctuation just to pass the time away.

When I write an asking sentence, how do I know it’s a question? My voice goes up at the end of the reading session. Squiggle with a dot, squiggle with a dot, question mark at the end. Squiggle with a dot, squiggle with a dot, question mark at the end.

I’ve been learning punctuation all the live long day. I’ve been learning punctuation just to pass the time away.

To write exciting statements, how do I show strong emotion? I draw a straight line with a dot. Exclamation mark’s the magic potion. A line with a dot, a line with a dot, use an exclamation mark. A line with a dot, a line with a dot, use an exclamation mark.

I’ve been learning punctuation all the live long day. I’ve been learning punctuation just to pass the time away.

When I need a pause between words, how do I know when to rest? I add a period with a tail. Commas are the best! Commas mean we pause, commas mean we pause, commas mean we briefly pause. Commas mean we pause, commas mean we pause, commas mean we briefly pause.

**"Hey Light Wave" by Katy Mae Skubic**
** Song for a seventh grade class: ** Grade Level Content Expectations: P.EN.E.2 Light Properties- Light travels in a straight path.Shadows result from light not being able to pass through anobject.

Examplesof waves include sound waves, seismic waves, waves on water, and light waves.


 * Hey Light Wave (aka Hey Soul Sister) **

Your light shines as Electromagnetic waves Of energy I knew I would forget you And so I decided to call you Roy G. Biv.

Your sweet particles Travel straight in every Where you see I knew when they collided Light would be reflected, Transmitted, or absorbed.

Hey Light Wave Hey Light Wave From the bright sun, a flashlight How fast you travel ain’t fair, you know

Hey Light Wave Hey Light Wave I don’t wanna miss A single thing you do Everyday

 * The 5 Great Lakes** (to the tune of 'We Will Rock You')

We will, we will learn the lakes (learn the lakes)

First comes Huron, Then Ontario, Michigan and Erie Superior, is the last We have learned the five Great Lakes

We will, we will learn the lakes (learn the lakes)

Amanda Batcha
 * Needs and Wants** (to the tune of The Addams Family)

Needs and wants (clap clap) Needs and wants (clap clap) Needs and wants, needs and wants, needs and wants (clap clap)

Water, food, and shelter, Are things we all must have, To sustain life. The things we all need.

Video games and ice cream, Are some things that we want, But we can live without them. The needs and wants of life.

Repeat Needs and wants part

Needs are the things that everyone, Require to stay alive. Wants are things we like, but don't truly need to have.

= **"Seasons": To the tune of "The Hokey Pokey"** = **For First Graders** **By: Lorraine Fierle**

**Spring!** You get some rain comin down The sun is making plants come out It's warm but not hot Spring is makin flowers sprout We'll splash in big puddles and do the bunny hop That's what spring's all about!

Summer! You get hot sunny days You get to swim, scream, and shout The sun is makin it hot It's summer time come out We'll have barbecues and fireworks too That's what summer's all about!

Autumn! You get cool air and wind It's changin the leaves It's gettin cooler out Autumn's makin leaves fall out We'll carve up a pumpkin and holler "Trick or Treat" That's what autumn's all about!

Winter! You get snow comin down Seems the sun's hardly out It's gettin real cold Winter slips and slides about We'll drink hot cocoa and have a snowball fight That's what winter's all about!

(to the tune of “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”)
 * The Angle Song, by Jennifer Degazio **


 * Suggested grades: ** late elementary

Acute, right angle and obtuse, and obtuse, Acute, right angle and obtuse, and obtuse, A straight line’s one-eighty, two-seventy’s a quarter more, Three-sixty degrees and you are back at the start!

//Hand motions: use arms to demonstrate these angles. Start with arms at “zero degrees” (one on top of the other, like an alligator mouth). Move top arm to show increasingly bigger angles, matching with the words to the song, so kids can visualize an angle opening wider and wider until it has gone a full 360 degrees.//


 * Katie Kaunelis**
 * Plate Tectonics Song**
 * (to the tune of Fresh Prince of Bel-air)**

Now this is a story all about how Plate tectonics became a theory And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there I'll tell you how Pangea became our continents

In the ocean basaltic rock On the land's ground where granite spends most of its days Diverging out, converging, transforming all cool And all moving some plates aside like a tool When a couple of forces, they were up to no good Started making trouble in Pangea-hood


 * Hayley Tollander **
 * Season’s Song **
 * (To the tune of “Mary had a little lamb”) **

There are four seasons a year, Seasons a year, seasons a year, There are four seasons a year, Tell me what they are:

Winter, spring, summer and fall Winter and spring, summer and fall Winter, spring, summer and fall Are seasons of the year.

In winter it gets colder and snows Colder and snows, colder and snows In winter we wear mittens and hats, To keep our bodies warm.

And in the spring rain pours down, Rain pours down, rain pours down And in the spring flowers bloom, Springtime brings new life.

And in the summer it gets hot, It gets hot, it gets hot. And in the summer trees are green, For people to enjoy.

And in the fall leaves change color, Leaves change color, leaves change color, And in the fall leaves fall down, As the weather starts to cool.
