Looking for a new way to start your day??  Well, we have just the song for you.  Perfect for grades Pre-K, K, and 1st, The Good Morning Song is sure to put a smile on everyone's face.  It's a great way to jump start your carpet time learning or transition between activities.  We have put this ditty on special for the month of August.  You can snag the MP3 and the lyrics for only .99¢ 

This song is from the Beginning Concepts l & ll CD which is great for the primary grades.  From days of the week, months of the year, seasons, short vowels, colors, shapes, counting, the alphabet, and much much more, you can't go wrong with these kid-friendly tunes.  CLICK HERE to take a little listen to the Good Morning song.

But, that's not all today.  We just can't let you leave here without a little something to take with you. Nancy and I have created a freebie for you to roll with as well.  This Good Morning write has been left open-ended so that you can easily adapt it to fit your needs.  Also, multiple templates have been included.  One is pictorial, one is guided, and the other is just lined.  This will help you better meet the needs of your new crew.

Sometimes people make videos using our songs! Check it out!

Here is one video: Tricky Facts

Nouns!

Well, here we go.  We finally have TWO posts under our belt in the good old blogging world!  I guess this makes us official :)  As a couple of "non-techies" who rarely use the ATM, this has been a very interesting new adventure thus far.  We hope it will be for you as well!

Nancy and I are anxious to share some music based ideas and strategies that will help energize your classroom and create memorable learning moments for your students.  Check back often as we will have lots of freebies up for grabs.  

If you are here, you have most likely heard a little bit about us.  However, here are some mindless facts to help you get to know the BROWNS on a whole new level :)
 

• Ron learned to play the guitar at age 9 by listening to The Venturers and Duane Eddy records.
• Nancy is an expert downhill skier (although her poor back has kept her sidelined for way too many years).
• Ron is afraid of pigeons due to a horrific incident as a young boy.  Big cities are oh so difficult for this man to stomach.
• It is rumored that Nancy danced on a table or two during her tenure as a teacher.  
• Together Ron and Nancy have 57 years of experience in the classroom.
• Nancy would rather eat candy than her vegetables.
• Ron's favorite musicians include Jimi Hendrix, Joe Satriani, and Eric Clapton (pretty cool for an old guy)! 
• The Browns have been to Maui more than 10+ times.  It's their home away from home.
