Class Sing-a-Longs
We use music a lot in our class to help with reading. I will play the guitar while the students sing along with the words on board. If you don't feel like playing the music you can click "YouTube" for a streaming version or find each of these tunes on iTunes! Click on the song title to view the lyrics.

Great Songs for Kids
Here are some great songs that we use in the classroom. I try to pick songs with a positive message. I have lyrics printed in binders, and the students can listen to these songs and follow along with the words. I put them on iPods and they can listen by themselves or with a buddy. We also do this whole class sometimes or small groups with a laptop and iTunes.
Please let me know if you have any song suggestions!
