Singing and moving around is an important learning tool in young ages because then they are more focused and engaged. I think turning lessons into a song, if possible, is a great way to get the students to repeat after the teacher and also enjoy the lesson more. Students are always signing and repeating things, so if the teacher can turn a lesson into a song, they are more than likely to go home singing that song, which means they are learning and remembering. 

I like the idea of incorporating music into a lesson plan. Recently for one of my classes, I had to do a presentation with my group on history and art. In this presentation, we discussed different options for lessons that were about history. During my part of the presentation, I was going to teach the students an interesting take on learning the state capitals. I found a catchy and upbeat song that would grab the students' attention. By the end of the presentation, all the students were humming and dancing along.

I love this idea of incorporating music to help students get involved in learning. It gets them excited and helps them remember it when preparing for a test or when doing homework.

From this video I learned that creating songs in the classroom can be very simple and helpful for all subject areas. All one has to do is choose the key concept and set the words to a well known tune. I am wondering what some examples are of other songs you have written?

DO you have any of these written down to share?
