What educators are saying

This was a perfect beginning of the year activity. It also helped me learn the names of my students and how to pronounce them correctly!!! So important to let everyone share their story!!
Students are so excited to compose the rhythm with their names, and search where their names are from. They are very surprised to found out the original meaning of their names. Thanks for making this great lesson.

Description

Jamillah Thompkins-Bigelow wrote "Your Name is a Song" and Luisa Uribe illustrated beautiful accompanying pictures. It is available from Amazon and will be coming to book stores near you soon.

These slides accompany this amazing book and can be used as a stand alone lesson or a Back to School activity. Knowing our students' names is vital to connecting with them. It shows we care, that they are known, and that their heritage & culture is celebrated!

In addition to a read aloud of this book, there are rhythms (beginner and advanced) and worksheets (beginner and advanced levels) to help kids compose the rhythms of their names.
