Posted by: Sing Books with Emily on: October 3, 2010
I’m so excited to get the chance this year to sing in my daughter Eloise’s First Grade Class every Tuesday this year. Huge thanks to Mrs. Morgan for welcoming me in. Her classroom is bright, cheerful and expertly run.
We spent a sunny 30 minutes singing some wonderful songs, including:
- A-You’re Adorable (Words and Music by Buddy Kaye, Fred Wise and Sidney Lippman, Illustrated by Emily Leatha Everson Gleichenhaus)
- ZYXs (Traditional Words and Tune, Illustrated by Emily Leatha Everson Gleichenhaus, Click here to view or print my ZYX card:
