I am a huge fan of music both personally and in my classroom. I've been known to purchase an album based on one song...even a small snippet of a song. iTunes makes things way too convenient for me but I love it and my Shazam app is a dream to me! I listen to all genres and research proves that music does the body and brain good so we always have something playing in the background during the school day and I'm always looking for the perfect tune to teach a skill or two. You can find some of our favorite albums on my website. My nieces and I found a few cool albums on iTunes this morning that I think you might want to give a listen to...
Our first discovery was the group called "The Not Its" (Love it!). They have three albums and I purchased their most recent album, Tag, You're It! You can just google "The Not Its" to find the best deal!
We also discovered Wayne Brady's album for children, "Radio Wayne"...totally hip and so much fun! Especially his "The High Low" song...definitely one that will get your toes tapping! I only paid $7.99 on iTunes for it this morning...bargain!
Off to shop at Really Good Stuff to purchase more workstation baskets to store more Reading and Language Arts fun for my kiddos!
I love using music in my classroom and every year I have English Language Learners and music is SO universal! Thanks for tips on some new groups!
ReplyDeleteHave a great school year.
