Today we used the holiday classic "The Twelve Days of Christmas" to learn about alliteration. We found all of the examples in the song (seven swans a-swimming!) and then the kids rewrote the lyrics that were lacking. Here are some of my favorites:
a partridge pecking a pear tree
three French fries
four begging/big/backwards birds
five ruby/red/rolling/rich rings
five golden grass blades
five golden geese
six swans/lemurs/loons a-laying
six geese a-gazing
nine daddies dancing
LOVE IT!!
P.S. I took a video of the singing performance this afternoon. As soon as I can figure out this darn technology business, I'll post it for you :)
