Our school recently received a 'nutrition grant'. It's been super cool because it basically provides fresh fruit and veggie snacks for the entire school, every day. A lot of these kids have never tried some of the food- (blood oranges, green peppers, kiwi)- and they will literally run to the fridge every morning and after school and eat all the left overs. I've never seen kids so excited over fresh fruits and veggies.
So.....because of all the 'nutrition excitement', we had a 'nutrition family game night'. My fourth graders performed. I had them all write nutrition 'raps' about the food they've tried this year.
We talked about rhyming words and syllables.
These are the ones we performed, hope you enjoy : )
Cherries and Berries
Cherries, cherries
They're kinda like berries
Berries, berries
They're kinda like cherries.
Whicka, whicka Whack!
See you Mack!
Apple Rap
Apples, Apples, make my tongue POP!
Radish, radish makes my crunchin' stop!
Love the fruit, love the color (KUH-LAH)
Love the taste like I love my mother (MUH-THAH)
Here's the ending, which makes me sad,
But I don't like grapefruit, it makes me mad!
Raspberries
Raspberries, raspberries, they are sweet
Raspberries are such a good treat
They are red and just so juicy
I like them because they're fruity.
Man I like them, but do you?
If you don't then just FOO YOU!
And...this is why I teach elementary school. Talk about hilarious.

Nice, gotta love kids' songs. Adalyn made one up the other day after I taught her the kookaburra song. It goes to the same tune (I think). "Toucan sits on a branch, all the birds will fly, then the nest comes." She's a budding musician I tell you.
sheli - those are great! I wish I could have heard them performed by the artists themselves. :)
