CHILDREN'S LITERATURE - BOOKS TO SING


Let's Go to the Farm
Written by Lori Froeb
Illustrated by SI Artists
ISBN: 978-0-7944-1920-2


Enjoy this wonderful fall selection full of barnyard greetings as your little people become excited about the possible farm animals behind each of the lift-the-flap pictures.  The book can be easily adapted and sung to the familiar s-m or s-m-l melody of Lucy Locket.

The book can also be used with a variety of other "farm" songs such as "The Farmer and the Dell" and "Old MacDonald Had a Farm." 

It can also be adapted to fit the melody of the folk dance "La raspa" found in the Rhythmically Moving collection.  There is a Spanish version of the story available on Amazon as well -- these can be a wonderful duo when sharing with your ELL students.
Enjoy and keep singing. Click the link below to purchase this book.

STEADY BEAT

Wow!  I can't believe that I'm beginning my fifth year of posting ideas for the classroom.  It's been so much fun sharing ideas and hearing from you.  So ... 5 years later ... here we go!   :)

I know that many of you have already returned to your classrooms, so let me say, "welcome back."  I've appreciated your loyalty in coming back week after week.  Some weeks were more difficult that others to get here but I'm looking forward to sharing so much more with you.
