I hope you are having a great President’s Day! – Whether you’re at work or off for the day, thank you for taking the time to spend a portion of your day with us.
As promised back in the December letter (not signed up? you can here!), the songs I have been writing lately are in response to requests from readers just like you! And it’s not too late. If you a have a skill that needs a song, comment below or catch me at mary@musictherapykids.com.
Amanda writes, “this has been a struggle since my son started school….identifying teachers by name. He still doesn’t know their names!”
So I created this song:
Lyrics
There are people I see everyday
When I’m out and about and on my way.
If I’m going to school or therapy,
I need to know their names because they want to help me.
With learning all the things I need to know
So I can be my best wherever I go!
My teacher is ________.
My teacher is ________.
I see her when I go to ____________.
My teacher is ________.
Tips & Tricks
- repetition, repetition, repetition!
- use real pictures of teachers and therapists to pair with the fill in version
- use real pictures of the places to pair with the fill in version
- sing this song in the car on the way to the people you are going to see.
- need to learn other names? Family members perhaps? Quickly adapt the lyrics – “My sister’s name is ____.”
- also check out Hello Friend! which focuses on greeting using a name (for example: Hello Mary!)
Like I mentioned before, if you have a skill that needs a song to enhance learning, please email me or comment below! If you use this song successfully with your child or a client, please let us know. We love success stories here at Music Therapy Kids and we want to hear from you!
