1st Graders Dancing to Franti & Spearhead

I teach first graders and our school district after so many years of cutting recess time back for the benefit of "learning time," now requires so much time per day for movement and exercise-Horray! We do a morning workout on the school news program, recess, and then we have a break for the teachers choice, walks, etc. I choose to let my students have dance time. We usually have music like, YMCA, Cha Cha Slide, Surfin' USA. This week I took some Michael Franti & Spearhead and put it on. The kids went nuts for it and were really getting down.

The Sound of Sunshine

What is the sound of sunshine?
To me, it’s a feeling, that feeling when I am so thankful to be alive;
It’s that feeling of uncontrollable bliss.
The sound of sunshine is wakin’ up and seeing a new day where everything is possible.
It’s the beauty of nature, peace between nations, and love for strangers.
It’s hope for a better day, hope for the lost, and hope for those who need some love.
The sound of sunshine is being surrounded by those we love and by those who need love.
It’s the sound I hear when children are singing and playing with no care in the world.
