I have been hearing this song in many different circles. When I go down rabbit holes in the middle of the night on YouTube I see lots of videos of contestants on The Voice singing the song. I know that I have posted this song on my blog before but I am especially reminded of Mr. Curl when I was teaching out of a classroom adjacent to the cafeteria/gym.
I call it a classroom because it is where I taught my classes for reading but really, it was a storage closet for the PE teacher. Mr. Curl ran his physical education classes where it sounded like they were having so much fun! On Fridays, it was established that it was, “Dodgeball Friday.” I would hear this song often toward the end of my teaching career but I did not know it was nearing its end at the time. All of the PE students figured out that if they screamed for the entire time while they played dodgeball, they would do better! At least, that’s what they did which made teaching reading a pleasure on Fridays!
