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.
