I love my new job! I know that, eventually I will have to teach the core and be a good girl, but for the first two weeks as I have established rules and procedures, we have played. My boss told me that the students have not been very enthusiastic about music so I began a quest to convert them. I have been singing questionable songs.....they love them. This week I taught them The Cat Came Back, a delightful song of the adventures of an unwanted cat with an uncanny talent of survival. A bit violent...but they loved it. One 3rd grade boy (usually a discipline challenge) said, "Mrs. Johnson this song is violent!". I said "Okay, I won't finish it." Pleas of protests were heard for the finish. One second grade girl stated that she would be having nightmares.
I think I am safe in my job as the administration keeps visiting ...(checking on me or enjoying my refrigerated air?) and I still have a job. So far so good. Any ideas of songs for the future? Please share. PS I love Bill the Cat!

They are very lucky to have you as a teacher. You have always known such fun songs. I need to hear your cat came back version.
My favorite song my dad used to sing to us was called "Fling it Here, Fling it there" about a farmer who drove a tractor and you can guess what it was he was flinging...MANURE!!
Becky you are so fun. They truly love you.
My favorite song in Elementary school was Grandma's Feather Bed...
