Dear Owlers, I am going to attach some of the song lyrics I have saved on my computer. I haven't used all of them and with every song I use some different strategies and activities to go a long with them. Maybe later I can explain some!!! Also the documents are not all edited since sometime I pull the lyrics from the internet so please look through them. Today is the last day of in-service and I have spent little time in my room and with access to a computer. I am looking forward to being able to follow more of the threads and respond in a more timely manner.
