Last week my class went on a field trip to Linvilla Orchards along with the Pre-K through third grade classes. We had beautiful weather and got to go on a hayride, see farm animals, and learn how cider is made. The highlight of the trip for me, however, was the bus ride. The students do not ride buses to school, so for some of them it was their first time on a bus. We discussed appropriate bus behavior ahead of time, and I explained that they would need to speak in quiet voices, but I said it would be OK if they sang. As soon as we pulled out of the school parking lot, a few of my students began leading the class and soon the whole bus in all the songs we sing in class, especially our very favorite, the worship song “Every Move I Make.” It was a 30 minute bus ride each way, so eventually they ran out of songs. That’s when one boy in my class spoke up and said, “I know what we should sing!” Then he began chanting “When I say Hillshire, you say Farms!” Now I, being cable deprived, was not familiar with this particular commercial jingle, but apparently my whole class was, and they ending with a rousing shout of “Go Meat!”complete with a fist pump. The other teachers and I couldn’t contain our laughter.
For your viewing pleasure... (note: this was after the fact when I tried to get them to recreate the moment for me to film, but still amusing)
