QUESTION?
Does anyone know of a french song with the word "Marionette"
(Puppets) in it. I am currently working on a lesson plan and
require french songs that incorporated the theme of "Puppets".
Thank you for your help.

I am looking for ideas to teach the CONCEPT of
rhyming in a concrete way. All of the materials I have start off
with "do these words rhyme?". I have low functioning children who
cannot grasp abstract concepts.
My email address is: [email protected]
Thanks for any suggestions!

Does anyone have the music to Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush?
I am teaching a song to the tune of that rhyme and would like to
play it on the piano for my 4 yr old class.

HI, thanks a lot for the wonderful idea's and suggestion it is really helpful for me and lots of others who are in the teaching line.In my view the nursery rhymes could be printed and can be rewrite in the manila card with the drawings and can hang them in the classroom so
that each and every child can remember and recite the rhymes.Please

I'm a first grade teacher and have come across a song "My
Cat, the Acrobat" (sung to the tune of "This Old Man") for the 'at' word
family. Has anyone heard of this program. I believe this song is one of
a set, made by Kindergarten Works. I would love to purchase this program,
can anyone help me with this. thanks, Stevie

To the person who was stumped in Newyork???I think Jolly
Phonics is a great program to use with children . All of the consonants
and vowels have an action. It can be bought at most teachers stores. (
about $40)

Dear Solvieg
I was interested to read about your work with massage with your
classes.I teach six and seven year olds...here it is the second year of
school and have been doing meditation with my class with one of the
children's mums facillitating as she is a trained meditator who has worked
with adults and also does reiki massage. I would be interested in hearing
how you organise this with the younger children.my email is

from Michelle, Australia; Oct. 13, 2001
ince 1996 I have been introducing massage in schools from kindergarten up to 9th graders. (The children are working in pairs - no adult involved). This is such a powerful positive force. The children loves it and it really helps them to relax and reduce stress. It also combines an opportunity to fulfill their need for love, touch and
validation. Research has been done on this too.
Contact me for further information. Blessings Solveig

Hi,
I am currently teaching a group of 4-5 year olds in a pre-school.
i am experiencing difficulty in getting the children to remember the
letter-sound association. could anybody suggest a way in which i
could make it simpler and more enjoyable for the kids. Please
remember that English is not spoken at home and that children have
different mother-tongues.

Days of the week - try "Solomon Grundy" or "Monday's Child"
Has anyone correlated the nursery rhyme sounds to Open Court
Reading ?
from Kathy Pullman, Granada Hills, CA, USA; Sept. 10, 2001
I just wanted to say how wonderful it is to see people, working with children, from all over the world coming together to share ideas and information or to offer help. I come form England and currently work as a Nursery Nurse (not quite a qualified teacher (but the same workload!) in a deprived area of my local town. The children lack in what seem to us to be the most basic of needs, such as, attention,understanding, love a decent diet, but we are there to teach these children that it dosen't have to be like that for everyone. It would be great to hear from other people and there experinces in the places they work. I have added this site to my favorite list and will be returning everday to read the messages sent in, and maybe to offer ideas of my own (and take away a few!)
Best wishes

The words to the days of the week song are:
"There are seven days, there are seven days, there are seven days in a
week.
(Repeat first line)
Sunday, Monday ... Tuesday, Wednesday ... Thursday, Friday, Saturday
(Repeat third line)."
This is sung to the tune of "O My Darling, Clementine."
Hope this helps.

I have been searching for words to the rhyme, "Rub-A-Dub-Dub. The words I remember learning as a child are not the ones I found in my search. The way I remember the rhyme was
this:
Rub-a-dub-dub, three men in a tub,
Out on the ocean blue;
The butcher, the baker, the
candlestick maker,
?????? ?????? ?????? ?????? ??????
?????? ???
Does anyone have the last line as I remember learning it?
