Stone Fox Song (Go Go Willy)
This is a song I wrote and recorded. It's based on the book Stone Fox, by John Reynolds Gardiner. SPOILER ALERT!!! The song mentions key parts of the story, including the end of the dogsled race.
Many of my teacher friends have used the Stone Fox song in their classrooms, sometimes just for entertainment, sometimes during literacy time. Thanks!

Chant Away!
Chanting is an easy way to incorporate movement playfully and purposefully into your academics and curriculum. I love using these chants as a way to gather children at circle time and during transitions to harness energy in a positive and productive way. All learners can participate in some way, they can chant, turn the pages or point to the words as others chant along. All you need to know how to do is keep a steady beat! And perhaps most importantly, the Common Core Standards of reading, speak
