Rocking – Digital Download
Rhyming Words and Vocabulary Builders using the song ‘Rocking’
Students can just curl up and listen, to this nice, calming and relaxing song. It’s good following vigorous play, or when you sense they just need time to rest.
The words are sweet and soothing, and children love to imagine all the things suggested in the LYRICS. Encourage them to make a picture in their mind which helps develop the skills needed for readers to better comprehend the meaning of words.
Extended learning includes unfamiliar words such as:
peaceful, nursery, frolic, hums, eyelids, cuddle, sigh.
Bring bar soaps with different scents. Let the students smell each of the bars of soap and have them put the soaps in a row from their favorite smell to the yuckiest.
By counting the bars of soap, you magically turn music into math. Make a bar graph showing which bars were voted the favorite by the most kids and which ones got no votes at all.
