What reviewers have said about the Song Teaching Series

Change the World, With Kindness: "Wow. I'm so impressed. This is the most beautiful and useful resource I've ever purchased on TPT. My students have loved learning this song and its meaning. I've also learn so much about ways to teach songs to my students from here on out. I can't wait to purchase more from you! Thank you so much for your dedication to our profession and helping teachers by creating resources!"

One Piece of Pie: "Perfect fall activity. My students loved it."

Martin’s Dream of 1963: “My students have enjoyed this resource, and they were engaged. I used it to go through the words in the rap and talk about the meanings of the words and how they apply to Dr. King. It turned out to be a great lesson. My 3rd-year students want to perform it at their spring concert.”

Martin’s Dream of 1963: “Comprehensive and engaging resource. Easily adapted to fit needs of my classroom.”
