Let's Get Started!

"Let's Get Started," is a song I sing with students to get excited about learning. Everyone seems to participate and get ready for class to begin. Are you ready for school to begin? Well, it's almost time. :) Let's get started by thinking and dreaming about what direction we want our class to go. Try to tap into a few outside things that interest kids, too. We need to create enough excitement that makes us all want to start back to school! Plan, plan, plan...it takes a lot of planning to begin the school year. You may also want to buy a few extra resources to start. I suggest you try Teachers pay Teachers for some great products. Teachers know what you need, and they are very creative! So..."Let's Get Started!"

The lesson is really not that difficult to write using Common Core. Give it a try!
