My First Give Away!

I am so excited to be teaming up with Kim Adsit for this giveaway! Kim has been amazing to let me preview her new items up for sale on Teachers Pay Teachers.  I was lucky enough to go to many of Kim's sessions at the I Teach K conference in Las Vegas this summer.  She has great tips and ideas that can be incorporated right away in your classrooms.

So, I bet you're wondering.....what is the prize?

2 lucky winners will receive a copy of Kim's resource pack for  

Jack Hartmann's  Names in Motion! 

(Sorry the CD is not included in this give away!)

The activities include:  

*How Many Beats? (name syllable book)

*Clap and Count Kids

*How Many Syllables in Your Name? (Class and individual graphs)

*Your name, my Name Syllable Sort

*Sorting Friends

Combining music and literacy activities is a great way to get young learners involved in class activities.  Through music, children learn to:

·         Understand language (we must comprehend language in order to become “true” readers)

·         Experiment with rhythm, words, tempo, and melody (which are important skills in reading    aloud)

·         Think creatively and holistically

·         Make the connection between print and spoken words

·         Practice motor development and motor coordination while experimenting with various instruments and dancing

·         LISTEN (we sometimes forget that listening is an important literacy skill)
