Elbows

Here's a fun way to practice naming parts of the body, from one of our favorite people...Val in Argentina.

Wow! I'll be using that idea. Will be terrific at the Spring Picnic, too! (Older kids and adults would have a water balloon, just to keep them on their - ahem - toes.)

Evon, it's been a while since we spoke. Hello. Or shall I sing it?

Since you are the master at teaching little ones English as a second language through song, I was wondering if you might be able to help.

I'm putting together some information for our Educators here, on the importance of using music to teach English. As you may know, there are many areas through out the US where migrant children are starting preschool without knowing English.

Have you found any good resources showing the research-based reasons why music helps little ones learn English?

Thanks in advance for any help.
