When I moved to this school last year I was delighted to find a great classroom library in the music room! We use the books for a variety of purposes. We sing the books, we do rhythmic activities found in the books, we create accompaniments and add sound effects, we use them as inspiration for movement, we learn about music history, etc... At this workstation students are free to explore the library and read a song!
For teachers: If you are interested in some worksheets that go along with a few of the children's literature lessons go HERE and scroll down to the bottom.
I'd love to know what books you have available to your kids. Can you email a list please?
