As teachers {esp. k-3} we know how important "Making Words" activities are for our students. The manipulation of the letters and exploration of letter sounds and patterns are skills that all students need {and enjoy}. Which brings me to my next point......

I needed a fun activity that would keep my students engaged and this historical walk up song assignment was a blast.
