NANCY STEWART MUSIC

I like to visit Nancy Stewart's music site and let students listen to some of the easy songs that they, too, can learn.  Her voice is so soothing, it mesmerizes them as they listen and view the words.  She usually has a song of the month and finger plays to go with some of the songs.

SO YOU WANT TO BE PRESIDENT

We will be reading, So You Want to Be President?, by Judith St. George, in November which shows students that presidents are real people with a funny twist.  The book covers information about presidential pets, sports, children, and looks.  One of my favorites, and very timely during this election season.

Exercise!

No matter what shape you are, you can choose an exercise that is right for you. Have fun exercising!

Tigger and the Cloud

Will Tigger get rid of the angry cloud? What does Pooh suggest to make the cloud happy? Look for the video Tigger and the Cloud on YouTube. Some of the same suggestions students learned about being respectful are used in this story.

Being Respectful

Bad manners are contagious. See what happens when Mama Bear creates a "Politeness Chart."

MOLE MUSIC

Mole lives underground and doesn't get to visit others in the world above. He decides to try to learn to play the violin. This book goes with our lesson in the library for December on perseverence. Does Mole learn to play music? What does he do to learn? What happens?

THE CARROT SEED

We will be reading The Carrot Seed, by Ruth Krauss, when reviewing the trait of confidence. Everyone around the little boy doesn't think the carrot seed he planted will grow. See what happens that surprises the little boy's family in the end.
