so you are looking for background music for the calss to sliten to while reading? that is different than music for them to participate in..
but i like to do Apples adn Bananas and starte each verse with a vowel
while "doing" the sign language for the vowel....this song was in a
recent thread.
one of the best songs about being in school is John McCutcheon's
Kindergarten song...
of all you learn here remember this the best.
don't hurt each other and clean up your mess,
take a nap evdry day, wash before you eat,
hold hands, stick together , look before you cross the street
and remember the seed in teh little paper cup
the root grows down and the plant goes up

just about says it all!
