Reflect on your experiences teaching a song. Be sure to include:

Which song you led

How you knew children were engaged

What you would do differently next time.

Good morning toddler friends how are you?

All the children gathered together in a circle, and everyone participated either by waving or singing.

Some children did not want to join in but eventually did.

Something I’d do differently is try it in the afternoon and change it to “good afternoon toddler friends how are you? (Clap clap)

Maybe try when i have another educator to help,

Maybe try before end of the day

all the children would be gathered in a circle together and everyone participated either showing where is all the shapes in the classroom.

All the children joined and not be left out

Something I’d do differently is to try for the next time and change to colors

on the infant side, few of the babies will point to the tablet and that’s when I’ll put music on. They’ll stand where they are once the song plays they’ll dance to the music. They understand head shoulders knees and toes.

Something I'd do differently is to try and teach the song in Inuinnaqtun.

The song I led was the Bubble Bubble pop maybe sometime last month and for me to get the kids engaged and into it was that i would sing it during breakfast or lunch time and then once they knew the words that’s when I started doing the hand movements and they caught along very quick and if they want me to sing it to them they’ll do the hand movements of fish swimming in the water or clapping their hands for the pop sound

I wouldn’t say I was dealing with challenges when presenting a new song to the kids they were very interested into learning a new song

I don’t know what I would do differently next time. The way I introduced a new song and for them to get familiar with it I thought it was a good way to kind of introduce a new song to them but maybe next time I can get the other childcare worker involved so she can sing with me and the kids

Singing & doing the actions that were in the song (clap hands, stomp feet, shout hooray)

Challenges you experienced

No challenges

What you would do differently next time?

Add a different actions and sounds.
