HAMBLETON – A local classroom has taken a Christmas classic carol and changed the words to make the song fit with their classroom. Kim Falls’ second grade class at Tucker Valley Elementary Middle School selected new words to make the “12 Days of Christmas” more in line with the things they are doing this year. Falls said the project was one her students really enjoy.
In the classic carol, “12 Days of Christmas,” her true love brings her 12 drummers drumming, 11 pipers piping, 10 lords a leaping, nine ladies dancing, eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying, five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
Fall class has many different items each day. Their list includes 12 field trips, 11 hours of Big Brainz, 10 new highlighters, nine extra recesses, eight new computers, seven books to read, six homework passes, five spelling tests, four glue sticks, three math papers, two brand new pencils and one brand new desk for me.
Falls said her second grade students really worked hard to get the number 11 gift – a computer program called Big Brainz. She said Big Brainz is a computer program that helps her students learn their basic math facts.
