If you haven't been to (or know about) Mailbox's website lately, I highly recommend checking it out. I recently signed up for daily tips and have gotten some wonderful ideas for teaching. I particularly like that their tips are sent by e-mail with a link to their website, and you can quickly read them. I personally can't stand long winded bits of information. I like to read it and move on.
Here's a song from Mailbox that I've been singing with my 4-year-old class and they just love it. (So does our 3-year-old daughter):
Catch a Bubble (to the tune of Clementine)
Catch a Bubble
Catch a Bubble
Put it right into your mouth
Catch a Bubble
Catch a Bubble
Put it right into your mouth
**I have the kids pretend to put bubble sticks in bubble solution and blow pretend bubbles before we sing. I vary it a little by blowing big bubbles slowly and little bubbles quickly. I also ask them to tell me what color their bubble is or what it tastes like. So many things you can do to activate that little imagination.**
