Hi Everyone I'm new! I'm a new teacher looking for songs to sing before each subject, days of the week, and calendar time. Please let me know where to find some or if you can send them to me. thank you sooooooooooo much very nervous! hmy:
I would also like to know about music for second grade. I have some Dr. Jean CDs from kinder teaching, but I'm worried that might be a little "babyish" for my 2nd grade class. I have been looking for music that has fun beats and will teach different content areas like grammar or addition/subtraction facts. What CDs does your 2nd grade class like?
We listen to classical music on occasion for writing and sometimes we listen to Jack Johnson's Curious George soundtrack during an art activity. We listen to soundtracks like Madagascar for parties etc. The students also love the Zucchini Brothers~ http://www.zucchinibrothers.com Good Luck!
I know what you mean about the baby sounding stuff. My kids are too cynical to enjoy it! songsforteaching.com is also great because you can download most titles directly from the site AFTER hearing a song sample.
