Somebody emailedme this week to see if I had any suggestions for songs her class should singfor their program at the end of the school year. My advice was, “What songs do your children like best?”
I rememberedthis idea that I wrote about last summer, but I thought it might be “timely” toshare it again. You can adapt "TheVery Hungry Caterpillar" to the "Very Eager Kindergartener/Preschooler/etc." Think about a song you havetaught your class each month this year and write it on a poster. Continue adding one new song each monthand you’ll be all set to “perform” at the end of the year.
When schoolstarted some very eager kindergarten children wiggled in the classroom. Each month was exciting as they learnednew things…
In Septemberthey learned colors..."The Color Farm."
In Octoberthey learned their ABC's..."Alphardy"
In Novemberthey learned the days of the week..."Days of the Week"
In Decemberthey sang a holiday song..."Jingle Bells"
In Januarythey learned the months in the new year..."Macarena Months"
In Februarythey celebrated 100 Days..."Zero the Hero"
In March theywent on a bear hunt..."The Cool Bear Hunt"
In April theylearned to pick up trash..."The Litter Patrol"
In May theyvoted to teach YOU how to do the "Tooty Ta." (Ask the audience to stand andjoin you.)
In June itwas time to say good-bye and fly off to first grade..."May There Always BeSunshine."
