Heidi Songs

Incorporating music to teach is something I use at every opportunity possible, even when I am teaching in the upper grades.  I felt like I hit a wall when I conducted a weekly monitor progress assessment and realized my first graders were not retaining their sight words consistently.  I wanted to recycle everything I had been doing.  I freaked out!  As we follow the Common Core my First Graders were supposed to come to me with a handful of sight words already mastered, right?!?  Wrong!?!

I collaborated with my First Grade team, the real experts, who were also experiencing the same frustrations.  We talked about a website to check out.  It was www.HeidiSongs.com. 

I checked out some samples she had on YouTube and then made the purchase online.  A month after using the sight word songs and reproducibles in my class, I realize it has been worth every penny.  The songs are fabulous and the reproducibles double as a handwriting practice.  I highly recommend the sight word series since they help forge through the Common Core for First Grade.
