Iza Trapani's "Twinkle Twinkle" accompaniment MP3

Created by

Gilster's Goodies

I LOVE Iza Trapani's books and, as a music teacher, I love to sing them to the class so I have created this MPS file to do just that. This recording was built to support her "Twinkle Twinkle" book and all the extra verses. The music is from Mozart "Variations on 'Ah vous dirai-je Maman'" a public domain work that I have chopped up and rearranged to fit the book exactly. There are several places where there is no text and my accompaniment allows for that. You will find this the perfect springbo

The reason I say each one 3 times is because that research has shown that anything repeated 3 t

Reading aloud to one's scholars is the best way to emphasize the experience of the characters as well as the risk and nefarious nature of the situations. Cadence, dialect and vocal tone all help the scholars find the depth of

Making Inferences Song - Inference

Created by

Gerald Allsman

This an original audio recording about making inferences. This song could be used in conjunction with any lesson about the skill of making inferences. I've used it in the past after an introduction to inferences. My advice is to parse the song into phrases and ask the class to examine their meaning. Then use quotes from the song when students are attempting the skill. Having taught first grade for nearly a decade, I've realized the power of music and its impact on children. It encourages
