Music in the Classroom

Today I was going to post about Place Value, but I came across Mrs. Madden's Tune Up the Music Linky Party and I just had to do this. 





 
 
I just love listening to music in my classroom!  Whether it is for just for listening to while working or to teach a concept.  I can not sing at all!!  So I have tons of music that I have downloaded or have bookmarked on Youtube.
 
Here are some of my favorites.
 
Reading Rock Songs.  I have purchased the CD's  I have the first three. 
 




My kids love acting out this song!  You can listen to it online before buying through itunes.

Skip Counting



Solid, Liquid, Gas



Bat Echolocation Song


For Earth Day a Michael Jackson Song


Hand washing for kids : Pump  the pump   Music Video



Well that's a few of my ideas that I use for music in the classroom. If you have any music ideas that you like to share in your classroom; be sure to join the Linky Party.  I'm always looking for new ideas for music in the classroom.

Wed. I will blog about Number Sense.

Amanda M.- that would be great if he came to school. I would love that as well.

Glad to hear that teachers are getting some great ideas for using music in the classroom.

Amanda- I like Greenday also. When I actually hear the songs now I catch myself saying some of the reading lyrics instead.

YouTube and SchoolTube are great resources. We took our second graders to a dinner theater this year to see a performance of Schoolhouse Rock. None of my little ones had ever heard of Schoolhouse Rock, so I found several music videos on YouTube and played them. By the time we went to the theater, my kids recognized, and sang along with, most of the songs. It was great!
(BTW...I love your blog and just joined. Thanks for your great ideas.)
