Do you have the mid-winter blues? Us, too! So we thought it was time to shake it off and have a little dance party. We asked our Facebook friends to share their favorite educational songs in the hopes that it would give us the energy we need to make it to spring break. Here’s what they said:
- I love Dr. Stephanie Pasley-Wright’s “Math Party.” I put on the 100 song and make them do jumping jacks while they count. The energy level goes from a level 10 to a level one. Exercise and learning at the same time! —Melissa F.
- I use Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” to teach compare and contrast essays. “All the similarities…all the similarities…” —Coco S.
- Mr. Parr’s channel on YouTube is the best for science songs! —Samantha B.
- I play “Show Me the Money” by Jack Hartmann to teach money concepts. —Laura C.
- I make my own songs! This one’s about figurative language in popular music. —Julie G.
- I use Nathan Elder’s Biomusic CDs. —Rachel E.
- We love Flocabulary. It’s educational hip-hop! —Kendall G.
- Check out the videos made by the Rock Asylum. They only have a few and they are aimed towards middle schoolers but I’ve used the scientific method and rounding ones with ninth graders who enjoy rock music. —Deb H.
- I use “The Macarena” to teach patterns and cross laterality in P.E. class. —Cheryl G.
- “One is the Loneliest Number” is great for introducing prime numbers. —Donna S.W.
- Pancake Manor! They have songs for counting, letter concepts and more. —Jason K.
- I use Alanis Morisette’s “Ironic” to talk about irony. —Tyler W.
