Children love to sing songs!
We sing several songs to familiar tunes as part of our daily routine. Singing is a favorite part of our day! We like to stand up so we can freely make movements or clap while we sing. When we sing and make the sound of the letter we are studying, we have fun thinking of words we can include to make new verses and how we are going to "act out" or "make motions with our hands or bodies" to "visually explain" key words. We love it when our first or last name is in the song and everyone points to us! We like the rhythm of the letters when we practice spelling the "word of the week" and the word wall words by singing the letters. The Theme Songs help us remember things we are learning about in science, math and social studies. Singing is a fun way to learn!


Singing gives us playful opportunities to practice oral language,
dramatic expression, creative movement and motor skills.

We smile and laugh and it makes us feel good!
Have some fun with computer karaoke!

15 Fabulous Fingerplays and Facts
From the website: "Finger plays have been used in early childhood classrooms for many years- however, they seem to have taken a backseat recently to more “academic” skills. Did you know that fingerplays have many educational benefits that can help support the development of skills necessary for meeting Common Core Standards in Kindergarten? Experts recommend that children with difficulty learning to read go back and learn rhymes and finger plays because they are the building blocks of reading success."

Here are some of the songs we sing together for each alphabet letter. If you are helping someone learn to read the words to the songs, point to and say or sing the words while you sit with them so they can hear the tune and learn the pattern of the printed words. Once they learn some words and word patterns they can sing without help by looking at the picture clues.
