Songs for the Classroom

I LOVE using music in the classroom! I find that my students remember concepts much better when we put them into song form. I also find that it instantly boosts engagement and builds community!

Since I love writing these songs, I decided to create a home base where I will share them with you.

Included in the bundle is a PDF document of the lyric sheets AS WELL AS a PowerPoint presentation with lyrics that can be projected. Each slide includes either an audio file OR a hyperlink to a karaoke YouTube track that will help you get moovin' and groovin'! Note below which songs currently include an audio file. Eventually, ALL songs will have an audio file to assist you in learning the song!

*NEWLY UPDATED (2/2/20) to include Multiplication Songs 2-9! An audio file is included for each of the following songs:

- 2s Multiplication (to the tune of "Look What You Made Me Do" by Taylor Swift)

- 3s Multiplication (to the tune of "All Star" by Smash Mouth)

- 4s Multiplication (to the tune of "bad guy" by Billie Eilish)

- 5s Multiplication (to the tune of "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi)

- 6s Multiplication (to the tune of "Happier" by Marshmellow)

Since I taught 5th grade for the last three years, some of the songs may be geared toward fifth grade standards. However, many reading skills span across grade levels, and so these songs can be used across the board. I will also be including community building and procedural songs that can be used in any grade! Furthermore, I just started teaching 3rd grade, so I will be including more songs that cover 3rd grade standards.
