Mary Poppins
Who would have guessed modern kids would love Mary Poppins?! Just goes to show you never can tell until you try. My elementary students loved the movie, the songs, the worksheet, the movie word games... They all tried to snap their fingers to tidy up their rooms, too (it didn�t work though)... If you try this, please, let me know how it went.
