I have been teaching young children for the past five years. I have enjoyed my time in the classroom and touching the many lives of inner city children. I am currently working as a trainer with the Edison Schools, where I train other teachers in the reading and writing program. The purpose of creating the "School Bus Rap" is two fold. The first being, I know what enables children to learn. That is, they have to have an interest in what they are learning. Most children love to listen to music and it doesn't take long for them to learn the words to the songs because they enjoy the music. What I wanted to do was incorporate learning into music. This will allow students to participate in learning in an exciting and meaningful way. The second being, I've already seen success in my own child and my classroom students. I have been creating songs for children for the past five years. I have created songs for my students to help them learn concepts from States & Capitals to multiplication facts. As long as the children learn the words to the songs it has been proven that the information is retained. I could take that same information out of context and ask a question. I would see their minds go to work because they're moving their heads and going over the words to the song in their minds. This is a product that I would recommend to every teacher, parent, and tutor to increase learning and interest in education. Track List: 1. The Solar System 2. Multiplication Rap 3. You Know Your Facts (multiplication) 4. This Is Addition 5. 50 States 6. Values 7. History Suggested CDs:Other Genres: |
