Besides the occasional baked birthday treat, one of the perks of teaching elementary school is getting to join in on the activities the children are doing.
The best one recently for me was dancing along with kinders to Michael Jackson's "Blame it on the Boogie."
Don't blame it on the sunshine. (wave hands overhead in a rainbow motion)
Don't blame it on the moonlight. (make a moon with both hands to the side)
Don't blame it on the good times. (dance disco)
Blame it on the boogie. (wiggle all over like a kindie!)
