Continents and Oceans Song

Hi,

The class is working on learning this song to help up remember the continents and oceans.

It is to the tune of One Little, Two Little, Three Little Indians... (Sorry not politically correct :/)

Asia, North and South America
Africa, Antartica, and Australia
Europe is the only one that doesn't have an A.

Indian, Atlantic, Arctic, Pacific
We will be so specific
When we name the seven continents
and the four oceans.

Thanks,
Miss Irwin

Listen to Reading

Hi!

I am hoping to start having my students listen to audio books during our Daily 5 reading time. However, in order for this to work I need students to bring in their own headphones!

Thanks,
Miss Irwin
