“I download songs from the song library throughout the year. I
find picture book titles on the book shelf based on those songs,
and read a book that sings every day during circle time. Most of
the time I just check them out from the library. It’s so great
to have the list to work from- it does all the work for me! I
print out the poster for each song I use and post it on the
classroom door so that parents can see what we’re singing, and
sing the same songs at home, easily reinforcing what I’m doing
at school. The parents love being a part of their children’s day
at school! I also copy and paste pieces of early learning
information I found on the website, and include it in our weekly
newsletters home. We tell the parents we are using Sing With Our
Kids songs and materials in our curriculum, and they are
encouraged to go to the website and use them too. I’ve also used
many of the ideas from the free
activities pages“ |
