Thank you!!! Years ago, when I was first married and only 19, I taught
kindrgarten at an unaccredited Christian school in CA. I had absolutely no
guidance from the principal or other teachers, so I did everything my own
way, making it up as I went along. One of the things I did was make up
songs to help the children (I had 13 in the group) learn things like days of
the week or months of the year. I usually just used familiar tunes because
I'm only semi-musical (love it but not talented).
I never realized what tune I (almost )used for days of the week until now!
(A few notes are off, but very similar). But I only sing it through two
times, like a verse. I love it with the chorus included.
