Let’s Support Our New Teachers
(sing to the tune of: “Take Me Out To The Ballgame”)
Let’s support our new teachers;
Future leaders at work!
Share with them great tips to help them soar,
Pencils, glue sticks and oh, so much more!
Let us give our time to assist them
In ways that fill them with glee!
For they’re 1 – 2 – 3 times our future in D – K – G!
Teachers helping each other!
T-H-A-T’s the name!
Focus on five simple elements.
All together makes teaching a cinch!
With support from schools and school districts,
Helping new teachers lead!
For they’re 1 – 2 – 3 times our future in D – K – G!
Volunteer in the classroom.
Offer tutoring too!
Give them a smile that will melt their stress.
Time you give will help them stay their best.
Be a loyal DKG mentor,
A friend and sister indeed!
For they’re 1 – 2 – 3 times our future in D – K – G!
Local government leaders…
Let them know you are there!
Reach out your hands and give them your heart!
Let them know they can do it…they‘re smart!
With support from higher ed mentors,
Our brand new teachers will see
That they’re 1 – 2 – 3 times our future in D – K – G!
