They all get stuck in our heads and the students and I tend to hum them all day. Too funny! This video is super funny!! We discussed irregular verbs today and I showed this video just after I introduced them. I also created a sassy irregular verbs chart! This is the one I made for verbs. My lovely daughter helped me color it. We did nouns last week. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look around!! I hope you found something that you can use in your room!! Having Fun With Fluency!
