CHILDREN'S LITERATURE - BOOKS TO SING

Let It Shine
Written by Mary Ann Cocca-Leffler
ISBN:  978-0-545-45344-8

I have used many of Mary Ann Cocca-Leffler's book in past blog postings, so many of you may already be familiar with her titles.  Some of her other titles include "Let is Fall,"  "Let It Snow," and "Let it Rain."  I have also used "One Heart."  You can find any of these activities by simply clicking on the children's literature tab at the top to find the date it was used in the blog and go to that posting using the links along the left side.  Her books are quite charming and can easily be adapted to melodies such as "Skip to My Lou" and "Cindy."

However, since my students in Grade 1 are really starting to read and write so-mi-la melodies, I wanted a book that I could not only sing to a familiar melody that they have already learned, but one that I could use to move into composing in upcoming blogs.

With that said, sing this book using the melody of "We Are Playing in the Forest."  Check out the upcoming blog posts as I will add composition and improvisation activities to use with this story.

Enjoy and keep singing.
