One of the first things we study in life science is the human body. We learn about the obvious external parts, like legs, arms, your head, fingers, knees, and the like. Then we talk about how we sense the world using our senses. This is a fun little song about our senses, perfect for primary grades. It would go great with a booklet about our senses and how we use each of the for different daily activities.

This is a fun little song to add to your teaching collection. It teaches students how to find the volume of 3d shapes. I know my 5th graders always struggled with geometry concepts like this. Maybe they’d have done better with a song!

Another great song that goes hand-in-hand with the days of the week song. After they master the other one, get them started on this one. Then give them a 12-page stapled journal to sketch pictures and put words in it that remind them of each month and the seasons each month is in.

It seems easy, but it’s sometimes hard to separate the subject from the predicate, especially when they start throwing in clauses or shifting sentence order. As long as students can at least find who or what is doing the action and then determine what the action is, they’ve got most of the battle won. Thankfully, this song reminds them of that point in a catchy tune.
