Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Sleigh! by Mo Willem
Here's a fun book and song for your kids! I purposely made the instrumentation sound a bit like Jingle Bells. There is only one measure where they change, and they will need to practice that, but it shouldn't be too difficult. Remember to add a Hey! at the end on beat four!

Story of Ferdinand: Stories with Music for Valentine's Day
The story of Ferdinand shares a message of peace and contentment. Children are delighted to create the music for Ferdinand and the other bulls; this requires two very different styles! The lesson introduces terms and symbols for piano, forte and crescendo, as well as suggested sound effects and a song with easy Orff accompaniment.Source: Story book by Muno Leaf.

Squeak, Rumble, Whomp, Whomp, Whomp by Wynton Marsalis
This is a fun one! I did not add percussion instruments because each of us has different instruments in our classroom. I would add something that "squeaks" when we sing "Squeak" and something that "rumbles" when we sing "Rumble" and some kind of drum for Whomp, Whomp, Whomp. I would use a Tick Tock for that "Tick, Tock" and maybe a clave or woodblock for "Clack" and a bass drum for "Boom Boom". You can obviously add other instruments as well. Have fun with it.

Iza Trapani's "Twinkle Twinkle" accompaniment MP3
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

Author Purpose
This musical program is designed to help students understand the function of an author. It's great for all teachers. You get the audio too! Each song breaks down P.I.E. Persuasion, Information, Entertainment and Explanation. My second grade team asked if I could write a show about this because their students were struggling in this area. Audio file download information is available at the end of the document upon purchase.

The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales
The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka and Lane SmithVery funny book. I can't take credit for the song. It was written by a bunch of music teachers at a teacher workshop. Choose children to pick out instruments to represent the main characters - whatever instrument they choose that they think will sound like that character. The Stinky Cheese man, the old man, the old woman, the cow, the children, the wolf, the olive, and so on. As you read the story, they must li

Right Outside My Window
Right Outside My Window by Mary Ann Huberman. Published by Mondo Publishers. I did this as a project with my art teachers. We read the book and performed the song, then talked about what they might see outside their own windows. The art teacher read the book, talked about what they might see (real or imagined) and had them draw a picture. I had them put what they saw to a rhythm and write a short melody to go with it. I would allow more time than you think it's going to take (we did it towa
