The Shortcut Song (Donald Crews)
This is a song based on Donald Crews' Shortcut. It follows the sequence of the story line and builds suspense similar to the story. Other teachers have used this for multiple purposes in the reading and writing workshops such as for an extension lesson, to compare and contrast, to analyze how an author (or songwriter) builds suspense, for teaching sequence, for character analysis, and more. I have a list of instructional possibilities I will gladly send you for free at your request.

General Knowledge Song 3
This song is from a (growing) series of songs that teach trivial knowledge.
You will like to listen to them, because they are good songs (hopefully you´ll agree) and as a nice side effect internalize the facts taught in the song.
Your students will love this new way of learning, especially because they can listen to the songs while they are out and about.

What Is A Hero?
We often think that only super-heroes can be heroes, but being a hero takes lots of different forms. Some heroes are big and flashy and make it into the TV news, but sometimes being a hero is as simple as smiling kindly at someone on the street who might be looking sad. Use this as a discussion starter for what are the different characteristics of real-life heroes, and what are ways that children can be heroes.
