I know something you should know...


      I read somewhere that every teacher needed a magic word to use with their students...so I chose Purple Elephants.   I found this game (that I LOVE) on-line from some expert teacher out there in cyber world.  It is called "I know something you should you know..."  I use it to transition from one activity to another or just as a way to have some fun during the day.  My Firsties enjoy helping me make up new sayings.

Me:  "I know something you should know...George...."  Students:  "Washington!"
Me:  "I know something you should know...Hot Fudge...."  Students:  "Sundaes!"
Me:  "I know something you should know...Happy...."  Students:  "Birthday!"
Me:  "I know something you should know...2 quarters equals...."  Students:  "50 cents!"
Me:  "I know something you should know...Purple...."  Students:  "Elephants!"
Me:  "I know something you should know...Listen...."  Students:  "Shhhhhhhhhh!"

And we move on to the next activity!  We also use our School Name, cities and states, and all sorts of facts/skills we are learning throughout the week.
