Friday Freebie in Honor of Pam

I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Pam from The Vintage Teacher. The Vintage Teacher was one of the first blogs I followed, and I was always impressed by Pam's generosity and her cheerful attitude (Maybe it was her happy "Blogitude"!)   Click on the heart to read some kind words from Tamara at Teaching Blog Addict.

Friday Freebies was one of Pam's favorite activities.  She loved when teachers could share resources with each other!

I'm not very skillful in the upload/download arena, but to join in on this special edition of Friday Freebies in honor of Pam, I decided to give it a try...

We've been practicing Comma-Before-Conjunction (We call it "Comma Conjunction") for The Big Test. Sometimes, when we share sentences out loud, we say--while reading our sentence--"comma conjunction."  The line was long at Starbucks, comma conjunction so I was almost late for school.
 
To add a little silliness (which always seems to help students remember things!), we sing a little song to the tune of "Old MacDonald."  You have to sing "a-are" as two syllables to fit in with the rhythm of the song.  This one isn't going to win any Grammys, but it might invite a giggle or two (Or, perhaps, a bit of eye-rolling from tween-agers, but I just keep singing!)

Click the image to get the song from google.docs (I hope that's where this link leads you!)

I am not very good at attaching documents, but I am going to try and do this today in honor of Pam.
