Lyrical Retellings

Since the beginning of the year, we've been practicing the main elements of a retelling. We have the Who? Where? What happened? How did it end?
This week, we took retellings to a new level. We practiced as a class reading a story and completing a retelling sheet. Then we brainstormed a way to take the retelling and turn it into a song using a familiar tune. Check out what we came up with!

Dinosaur Starts School by Pamela Duncan Edwards
(To the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)
Oh Dinosaur,
Oh Dinosaur,
Don't be so sad!
School can be fun
Just try to be glad.
Here is a trick,
just find a new friend
and you will want
to go back again.
Oh Dinosaur,
Oh Dinosaur,
Don't be so sad!
School can be fun,
Just try to be glad!
