School Song Parody by Kirk
(tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb)
I had to take a test one day,
Test one day,
Test one day.
I had to take a test one day, so I made sure I studied!
Then I had to take my test,
Take my test,
Take my test.
Then I had to take my test and I got an "A"!
Then I saw the day was done,
Day was done,
Day was done.
Then I saw the day was done, it's time to have some fun!
School Song Parody by Riley
(tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb)
I need to eat my lunch
Eat my lunch
Eat my lunch
Because I am hung-gr-y!!!
Hurry-up I need to go!
Need to go!
Need to go!
Hurry-up I need to go...
Because I have homework!
When I'm done I'm going to play
Going to play
Going to play
When I'm done I'm going to play because I'm done with it! -

Song Parody by Jacob
(tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb)
Anything that Tommy read
Tommy read
Tommy read
Anything that Tommy read
He would really like.
Tommy left the book at home
Book at home
Book at home
Tommy left the book at home
What a big disgrace!
His mother brought the book to school
Book to school
Book to school
His mother brought the book to school
So he hugged her tight. -

School Song Parody * by Camille and Emma
(tune: Itsy Bitsy Spider)
Homeschool is awesome
Public school is lame
We get to do
So many other things
When we have a cold
We can stay in bed all day
Because homeschool is awesome
And public school is lame.
When you’re in school
We are having fun
When you’re doing homework
We are having snack
When you’re in detention
We are Acing tests
Because homeschool is awesome
And public school is lame.

We love using Writing Lesson of the Month! Thanks for all of the great writing ideas. The girls have a writing club and they have each written three stories using your lessons. Emma has also written a Halloween poem. This was their first collaborative effort using one of your lesson ideas. They had a blast!
Thanks for understanding that it was written in fun. :) -

My class really enjoyed writing school parodies. I think one of the best parts of doing this lesson is listening to them at their desks singing quietly to themselves to identify the sentence fluency and syllable breakdown. One helpful aspect is the sharing part...when the kids sing to each other it completely removes any sense of shyness they might have with one another. It's confidence building! Enjoy the attached parodies.
Sincerely,
Sabrina Milles

Song Parody "On Top of Old Smokey" by Murphy S.
"Inside of the Locker Room"
By: Murphy S.
(“On Top of Old Smokey”)
Inside of the locker room
With the stench of perfume
Please stop the spraying
Or the room will be fumed
We snatched it right out of
That chickadee’s hand
She wanted badly
So she chased us to band
It fell through my fingers
And onto the floor
And then the perfume
Rolled out the door
The perfume was rolling
As fast as could be
The girl was still chasing us
So pray for us please
The perfume was rolling all in the dirt
A farmer picked it up
And gave it a squirt
We got it from the farmer
It was the of chase
Then we took the perfume
And threw it in her face
Song Parody
(Tune: “I’ve Been Working On The Railroad”
“I’ve Been Working Hard At School “
By: Autumn J., Julia T., Baylee H. and Tori T.
I’ve been working hard at school
All the live long day
Can’t wait to go to lunch
To eat my troubles away
Can’t you hear the bells ringing
O-M-G I’m Iate
Can’t you hear the teacher saying
You have tutorials today.
Get a tardy slip
Get a tardy slip
Get a tardy slip and don’t be late
Sign the choice log
Sign the choice log
Sign the choice log and put the date
Someone stole my homework oh-no
Someone stole my homework oh-no
Someone stole my homework oh-no
Now I’m going to fail this class
I’m singing
Oh no this is bad
This is really bad
Please don’t call my dad
He’ll get really mad

Homework Smells
(Sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)
By: Akin (gr. 4) and Taylor (gr. 3)
Chorus (2x)
Homework smells! (2x)
Homework makes me nag.
Let me tell you the whole truth cause homework makes me nap.
Hey!
Carrying my bag.
Down the little hill.
Making me really bored.
So I must run away.
Hey!
Chorus
Jumping up and down.
Kicking my fat bag.
Every day I get a check,
But this time a check plus.
Chorus
Maybe homework’s nice.
It really isn’t bad.
I just have to work real’ hard
To get a check plus again.
Chorus
