Sing and Learn English!

Sing and Learn English!

My class uses music, lyrics, and singing daily to teach reading and auditory processing (listening) skills. Singing and Learning songs, builds fluency, articulation, voice, memory, expression, word attack, cadence, rhyme, rhythm, tone, pitch, vocabulary, decoding, phonics, and FUN! Students are motivated, empowered, freed from traditional reading lessons, and intrinsically motivated when learning to sing a song. Learning to read is a very unforgiving process for many kids, learning a song gives them a great accomplishment in a very short time. Songs enrich and bring to life a students world in a way that is powerful! My students sing up to 8 times per day during the first few months of school. All you have to do is give students the lyrics and start the song, all else is built into the process. NO FANCY LESSON NEEDED JUST GREAT MUSIC AND LYRICS!

Feist Sesame Street 1234 Lyrics

 One, two, three, four

monsters walking 'cross the floor

I love counting, counting to the number four

 Oh your counting, counting with me

to one less than five, and one more than three

Oh, Oh, Oh, we're counting to four

Oh, Oh, Oh, let's count some more

One, two, three, four

penguins that went by the door

I love counting, counting to the number four

I see four here, I see four there

favorite number, nothing can compare

Oh, Oh, Oh we're counting to four

Oh, Oh, Oh let's count some more

One, two, three, four

chickens just back from the shore

I love counting, counting to the number four

Oh, Oh, Oh we're counting to four

Oh, Oh, Oh lets count some more

One, two, three, four

chickens just back from the shore

One, two, three, four

penguins that went by the door

One, two, three, four

monsters walking 'cross the floor

bahg bahg bahg bahg (repeat 2x)

Ohhh counting to four

Ohhh (repeat 2x)

counting to four (repeat 3x)

Fireflies lyrics

You would not believe your eyes

If ten million fireflies

Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air

And leave teardrops everywhere

You'd think me rude

But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs

From ten thousand lightning bugs

As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head

A sock hop beneath my bed

A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

When I fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack

(Please take me away from here)

'Cause I feel like such an insomniac

(Please take me away from here)

Why do I tire of counting sheep

(Please take me away from here)

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are

If my dreams get real bizarre

'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

SING AND LEARN ENGLISH For the older students!

FEIST"1234"

One, two, three, four

Tell me that you love me more

Sleepless long nights

That is what my youth was for

Old teenage hopes are alive at your door

Left you with nothing but they want some more

Oh, you're changing your heart

Oh, You know who you are

Sweetheart bitterheart now I can't tell you apart

Cosy and cold, put the horse before the cart

Those teenage hopes who have tears in their eyes

Too scared to own up to one little lie

Oh, you're changing your heart

Oh, you know who you are

One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten

Money can't buy you back the love that you had then

One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten

Money can't buy you back the love that you had then

Oh, you're changing your heart

Oh, you know who you are

Oh, you're changing your heart

Oh, you know who you are

Oh, who you are

For the teenage boys

They're breaking your heart

For the teenage boys

They're breaking your heart

Waka Waka Lyrics

(Oooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehh)

You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
And back in the saddle

You're on the front line
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious
We're getting closer
This isn't over

The pressure is on
You feel it
But you've got it all
Believe it

When you fall get up
Oh oh
And if you fall get up

Don't wait in line
Y vamos por Todo

People are raising
Their expectations
Go on and feed them
This is your moment
No hesitations

Today's your day
I feel it
You paved the way
Believe it

If you get down
Get up, Oh oh
When you get down
Get up eh eh

Katy Perry - Hot N Cold (Sesame Street Version) Lyrics

Katy Perry

 Hi Elmo!

Elmo: Hi Ms. Katy

Katy Perry

: Are you ready to play "dress up"?

Elmo: "Dress up"?

Katy Perry

: You say that you wanna play "dress up", don't you?!

Elmo: Hmm

KP: C'mon Elmo, don't you wanna play?

Katy Perry

You wanna play so I wore dressed up clothes

Then you runaway, leave me here in this pose

How am I suppose to play with you?

You're up then you're down

You're running around

You're faster then you're slow

You stop then you go

You're hot then you're cold

You're yes then you're no

You're in then you're out

I'm starting to ????

You

You don't really wanna play, no

You just really wanna go

We used to be

Just like twins, so in sync

Used to love, how we played

Now you just runaway

Didn't know, that you are gonna change

You're up then you're down

You're running around

You're faster then you're slow

You stop then you go

You're hot then you're cold

You're yes then you're no

You're in then you're out

I'm starting to ?

Someone ?

Gonna chasing me all over

How to catch him, I wonder

He is to quick for me

You

You don't really wanna play, no

You just really wanna go

You're up then you're down

You're running around

You're faster then you're slow

You stop then you go

To The Sky Owl City 

Dada, dada, dadadadadadada
Dada, dada, dadadadadadada

Shipwreck in the sea of faces,
There's a dreamy world up there,
Dear friends in higher places,
Carry me away from here,
Travel light let the sun eclipse you,
'Cause your flight is about to leave,
And there's more to this brave adventure,
Than you'd ever believe,

Birdseye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you,
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue,
Chase your dreams, and remember me, speak bravery,
'cause after all those wings will take you, up so high,
So bid the forest floor goodbye, as you brace the wind and,
Take to the sky... you take to the sky

Dada, dada, dadadadadadada
Dada, dada, dadadadadadada

On the hills of lore and wonder,
There's a stormy world up there,
You can't whisper above the thunder,
But you can fly anywhere,
Purple burst of paper birds this,

Picture paints a thousand words,
So take a breath of mist and mystery,
And don't look back!

Birdseye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you,
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue,
Chase your dreams, and remember me, speak bravery,
'cause after all those wings will take you, up so high,
So bid the forest floor goodbye, as you brace the wind and,
Take to the sky... (you take to the sky)

There's a realm above the trees,
Where the lost are finally found,
Touch your feathers to the breeze,
And leave the ground,

Birdseye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you,
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue,
Chase your dreams, and remember me, speak bravery,
'cause after all those wings will take you, up so high,
So bid the forest floor goodbye, as you brace the wind and,
Take to the sky... you take to the sky...(you take to the sky)

Dada, dada, dadadadadadada
Dada, dada, dadadadadadada

You take to the sky

'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause everything is never as it seems
