Sing, Sing a Song

Interested in hearing Mr. James sound like a bit of a dork making animal noises? Thought so. Click here.

I just want you to know that while I find this track slightly embarassing for me personally, I couldn't resist putting it up to share because of how great the kids sound on it. In the track you'll hear one of our all time (and yes, daily) favorites, "E-I-E-I-O". There is participation from a whole chorus of children here, pulling from the entire spectrum of our current speech development. You'll hear some of our kids joining in with whole words and lines from the song (even, at one point, from across the room), while others sing simple sylables from the chorus, or mimic the animal sounds being created. What you can't hear is how intently each of the children are listening to one another, each joining in with their own approach. Listening, speaking, reading, writing. Its all connected. What a great way to join in together and all find ourselves on the same page with intense listening and speech.

Oh, and if I catch any flak from anyone about my animal sounds, I promise it will be the last audio track I share on here.
