Vocabulary Development Song

It takes everyday songs that our kiddos are bound to know and uses them to build vocabulary. One song it uses is The Itsy Bitsy Spider. I’ve typed it up because part of the Word Bank title got cut off on the photocopier. Because of copyright, I can’t share it here but thought you might like to check it out and perhaps use the same idea with poems or songs that you use in class.

I’ll be doing this one with my kiddos later this week after we learn about the water cycle (so they can confidently choose ‘evaporation’ and ‘precipitation’ to replace ‘dried up’ and ‘rain’). 

I’ve added this as part of A Day in First Grade’s poetry linky part (it’s a song, not a poem, but I still think it’s a great idea you can use with poems!). Check it out here
