This was the hardest song we’ve learned and your kids did it so fast!
Here are the lyrics:
Oh we are sure – we know measures!
Converting time, liquids, length is no chore.
Just use this song, can’t get it wrong
We’ll start with pounds – 2,000 in a ton.
Everyone here in this class can teach it.
Everyone knows what to do!
Twelve inches a foot; three feet in a yard
A mile’s five thousand two eighty feet. Not hard!
Sixteen ounces a pound – that’s the answer
So now you know-oh-oh, we’re converting masters
Eight fluid ounces go in a cup
Fluid ounces are different – don’t mess it up!
Two cups each pint, two pints each quart, a gallon’s four
And now you know-oh-oh, we’re converting masters
Oh, oh, oh – Converting is what we adore!
So c-come on, no, we’re not done
We’ve got metric still to do in this song
Grams or meters, and our liters.
Convert the same: kilo, centi, milli -we’re sure
Kilo’s 1,000 of these units
100 in centi-, too.
So whether it’s a liter or a gram we see
1,000 milli-s go in! Yeah, they’re tiny.
Kilo’s the biggest, it is so much more.
Now you know, oh, oh, we’re converting masters.
Last, we’ve got time, just think of 60
Seconds and minutes, sixty is the key
In a day we’ve got 24 hours
So now you know-oh-oh, we’re converting masters
Oh-oh-oh converting is what we adore!
Have a great Thanksgiving Break!
