I have a playlist labeled "Transitions" and I use Dr. Jean's: "Parts of a flower", 'Money Song', 'Five Senses', 'Continents' and 'Tools of Good Readers'. All of those are around a minute and a half, which is perfect for our transition back to the carpet from rotations. I like it because they are reviewing math and science standards while moving AND they have have to SING, so they aren't talking! It's magical. Also, if you have a Mac or an ipod dock, you can get a remote for it. <br /><br />I also have a "classical" playlist that I use during morning work to set a calming atmosphere. They respond well and it keeps the volume in the room to a low hum.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing that link- I will have to check it out! :)<br /><br />http://teachinghappilyeverafter.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153617634727706508noreply@blogger.com
