I don't know about you, but having a three-day weekend was such a great treat! And though many of us will feel disoriented, and repeatedly remind ourselves that today is Tuesday- not Monday!- we can look forward to a shortened work week. So, not to be confused- it's music on a faux Monday today!
Last week, I introduced today's shared song to one of my kiddos...and was thrilled that after our session, as I was taking data and writing my "note", he put into practice the content of the song! The topic is interrupting...or not doing so, and what can be done instead. Can you think of any other alternatives that could be added to the lyrics?
A TAP ON THE SHOULDER
I’ll tap you on the shoulder,
[Tap, tap, tap]
When there’s something I need
Or have to say
I’ll tap you on the shoulder,
[Tap, tap, tap]
But if you’re busy, I’ll back away.
And wait.
I’ll say excuse me
["Excuse me"]
When there’s something I need
Or have to say
I’ll say excuse me
["Excuse me"]
But if you’re busy, I’ll back away.
And wait.
If I see you're talking
With someone else,
I won’t interrupt; it’s not polite
I’ll keep to myself.
Waiting for my turn is hard,
But it’s the right thing to do,
So when you’re not busy
Then it’s my turn to speak to you…
I’ll tap you on the shoulder,
Tap/ “Excuse me”
When there’s something I need
Or have to say
I’ll tap you on the shoulder,
Tap/ “Excuse me”
But if you’re busy, I’ll back away.
But if you’re busy, I’ll back away.
But if you’re busy, I’ll back away.
A-a-and wait.
