Morning name chant help!

[meganew]

I'm back in the kindergarten classroom after three years of staying at home and I cannot remember this name chant I did in the beginning of the year! It had such a good beat (definitely wasn't to a nursery rhyme tune or anything) and it started with "where is *student name*? Where is *student name*?" Then the student would get up and dance in the middle for about 10 seconds and it ended with "because *student name* came to school today!"

Lol. This isn't a lot to go off of but I'm praying someone knows it!!

Have you tried YouTube? I found a video of what I thought was a really obscure church song, by searching some of the lyrics.

Found lots that are close, maybe they will spark a memory

Thanks so much guys, but I'm starting to think this was something the old music teacher at my school made up herself because no matter what I google I just can't find it. Womp womp.

Silver lining is that I found out what my schedule is yesterday and I probably won't ever have time to fit in any fun chants? Lol : /
