Clap Along if You Feel Like a Room Without a Roof!
One of my favorite things to do is listen to music, play music, sing along to music. I have always loved music. I feel like it creates a very happy and fun vibe in the classroom. Obviously, I want the kids to listen to school appropriate, even motivating music! Here are some tunes that I have on my school playlist that I jam to in my classroom:
Happy! by Pharrell Williams
Stereo Hearts by Gym Class Heroes
Good Feeling by Florida
and some oldies...
Best of My Love by The Emotions
Can't Buy Me Love by The Beatles
I Can't Help Myself by The Four Tops
I Got You by James Brown
Little Bitty Pretty One by Thurston Harris
I am a lover of all music, but I honestly feel like the older music works best for a learning envrionment because the kids still get that "fun vibe" feeling, but they honestly are not as excited and dancing to the new music... like Good Feeling. I'm not trying to go all granny here, but I do feel like I will only add more very upbeat and older music to my playlist. With that said, I love listening to music in the classroom, especially right now as they are constructing their wind turbines... more on that tomorrow!
