Ichabod Crane’s Holiday Jam – Reading, Writing and Rhyming [VIDEO]

Once again, another fantastic experience! You have to be there to totally feel the good vibes that happen with this school program (no brag, just fact..) This time I visited Ichabod Crane Elementary, and they were ready to JAM!

Mrs. Miller, Marcella and Scalzo's 4th graders were an absolute pleasure to work with. I had a blast working with them. Not only were they really creative under pressure (we only had an hour!), but they were also extremely polite - not only to me but to each other. And that, coincidentally was the whole point of this song.

At Ichabod they put a great emphasis on "Paying It Forward" and being good to each other. Wow, could this world use a dose of that these days!

In fact, if you help each other there, you are deemed a "super hero", which is such a cool way to reward kids.

All of these 4th graders put their heads together to come up with this parody of "Deck The Halls"
