[MOSAIC] Question for Tim about songs

[Joy]

Tim,
  I'm a bit confused. Do the students read the song lyrics as well as sing them? Do they read them first, or sing them first? Do you have recordings for them to listen to? Would camp songs work? (I'm an old Girl Scout leader.)
   
  I'm not a singer, don't play an instrument, and we don't have a music teacher at my school. I find this idea intriguing, and would like to try it with my fourth grade students. I think it would be a great way to help them relieve some stress in the afternoons after they finish testing. I also think it would be something I could incorporate into morning meetings next year. 
   
  Thanks,

songs (actually singing the songs), 30 minutes, 3 times a week.

  How children learn is as important as what they learn: process and content go hand in hand. http://www.responsiveclassroom.org
