You Gotta Have Cheer

You Gotta Have Cheer is full of art games, poems, stories, and best of all, whimsical cheers for school and home interaction with your kids.

“Make hand movements to clap, tap, and hand jive your own way,

To set up class rules and organize your day.”

There are funny toasts and roasts. You might even insert your friends and family names to cheer them on.

“You ran for someone dear you loved,

And I know she loved you on earth and above.”

Lois has had “MOR-TONS” of fun teaching art and has inspired hundreds of kids with her creative spirit and enthusiasm. Her poems, cheers, toasts, and stories were created along her teaching journey. Enjoy!
