"Snowmen at Night"
This audio recording of one of my favorite books SNOWMEN AT NIGHT by Caralyn and Mark Buehner is read to "Waltz of the Snowflakes" by Tchaikovsky. I have used the entire piece of music by leaving space at the end of the book to ask the question "What do YOU think snowmen do when we are not watching?"
Honesty - Song
Lyrics:
There was a girl. She was a real fine girl.
she had a test in class. She really wanted to pass.
She started to peak at the paper of her neighbor
but she knew that that was cheating so she stopped!
There was a boy named Andy really wanted some candy.
he saw it in the store and then he wanted it more.
He took it and he started to put it in his pocket
but he knew that that was stealing so he stopped!
Well if you honest in your dealings with your fellow human beings
you’re gonna find that

Library - Song
The library song is a goofy poem with a little instrumentation which discusses the rules of the Library.
Lyrics:
Oh there is nothing more exciting than a good, good book
So when I’m in the library I look, look, look
For a story that will thrill me
A story that will fill me
A story that will take me to another place or time
where I can learn and dream and find
a thousand answers to the questions in my mind.
But if I hear you talking.
Or I hear you loudly walking
If you giggle, laugh or scream

Hey, Mr. Monkey! (FREE from the "SING!" CD)
I've been doing music therapy and education with preschoolers and kindergarteners for over 20 years. This is a great FREE song for special education, music education, and general education.

Just follow the directions and use your imagination a little and you'll all be motioning along and having a ball! Use it to expand your les

New Shoes Song
This song is called "New Shoes" and my students absolutely love it! We have so much fun singing and dancing along to this little toon and celebrating our shoes : ) I find that it goes nicely with Pete the Cat. I like to use it for Shared Reading as well.

The Body Rap (View Mix CD by clicking under description.)
This is another great energy releasing song that requires kids to pay attention and move in specific ways as denoted by Margie's rap lyrics.
(Sounds like something Blondie in the 80s would rap!)
This song asks kids to first clap, then stamp and clap, then hum and stamp and clap - some would call it sequencing or backwards chaining. But whatever it is - it's designed to elicit attention and participation in a controlled physical manner. Oh, yea and it's fun.

Find Poetry resources | TPT
Learn more about poetry resources
Poetry encourages students to engage with language, explore their thoughts and feelings, and connect with the broader human experience. If you’re a teacher or parent looking for printable and digital poetry resources, look no further. TPT has an extensive collection of resources, created by other teachers, that are designed to help with any need across grade levels.
If you want to make poets out of younger students in elementary grades, then acrostic poems or fill in the blank poems are the perfect place to start. (In fact, many poetry resources on TPT include templates so your students can easily get started producing their own poetry, whether it’s a haiku, or limerick.) For older students in middle and high school, you can find an array of resources to teach them about everything from iambic pentameter, figurative language, to famous poets from history. With plenty of TPT resources at your fingertips, you can sharpen your students’ poetry skills in no time.
Fun and engaging poetry activities to try
Teaching students about poetry can be an engaging and creative experience. Here are a few ideas for poetry activities that you can find on TPT to help you introduce and explore the world of poetry with your students:
Poetic Device Scavenger Hunt
Distribute some poems and have students identify and highlight poetic devices like similes, metaphors, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and imagery. Discuss what these are and the overall impact on the reader's experience.
Poetry Analysis Jigsaw
Divide students into small groups, assigning each group a different poem. Have each group analyze the assigned poem's themes, tone, and literary devices, and present their findings to the class.
Poetry Slam or Performance
Organize a poetry slam where students can perform poems they’ve written themselves or those written by famous poets. This will help build confidence and strengthen their public speaking skills.
Writing Poetry from Different Perspectives
Ask students to write a poem from the perspective of an inanimate object or an animal to foster empathy and encourage creative, out-of-the-box thinking.
Creating Found Poetry
Provide magazines, newspapers, or online articles. Have students cut out interesting words and phrases, and use them to create their own unique poems.
These (and other!) activities can help deepen your students’ appreciation for poetry and enhance their creative writing skills.
