Music Playlist

During a training we watch Debbie Miller's video Happy Reading she stressed the importance of music in her day.  I decided I need to update my play lists!

Here is my new play list....I just finished listening to it at home and I had a smile on my face while swaying from side to side :)

I used Amazon MP3 and some songs were free.  The songs that were free are italicized

Oh What A Beautiful Morning by Joanie Bartels
All The Way Around The World by Katherine Dines
Sunny Day by Elizabeth Mitchell
Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Three Little Birds by Elizabeth Mitchell
I'll I Want Is You by Vespers
And The Green Grass Grew All Around by Jewel
You Are My Sunshine by Elizabeth Mitchell
She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain by Jewel
Rubber Duckie by Kelly Hogan
Animal Crackers by Wee Hairy Beasties
Happy Trails by The Countdown Kids
I Wanna Be A Snowman by Caspar Babypants


I really love Raffi but I already own all his music!  My other favorites are Beatles for Kids, Jack Johnson, the Putumayo music, Martha Stewart Lullabies, and For the Kids too.

What are your favorite songs for the classroom?
