"The Ants Go MARCHing"
As we welcomed the new month of March, the students were reminded of an old nursery school song, "The Ants Go Marching In." (Get it?!? - MARCHing) I decided to capitalize on the fun they were having and using it to review fundamental skills. We've been really drilling our parts of speech, so I created a worksheet where they categorize the words from the song lyrics:
Then I thought we could continue our mini-unit on ants (and get some excellent critical thinking and creative writing skill practice)

What was your (or your child's) favorite nursery school song? I used to baby-sit my younger cousin a lot and her favorite was "Yankee Doodle." She sang is endlessly! :)

You've got some WONDERFUL ideas posted here! Thanks for sharing. I teach Language Arts to 5/6th graders. I snagged your Ants packet to use with my fivers. This should definitely take the pain out of learning parts of speech.

I love the sheet on categorizing the parts of speech from a song they are familiar with or like. How creative! :)
