Teachers will realize on their investment through a study of the hidden riches of even a small library of records. Many times, one record may serve five to ten purposes. Look over your record collection, and you will find many that can be used in as many different ways as the following illustrations, which were picked at random. HOW TO USE 17719 This record contains eleven splendid songs for rote singing in the primary grades. Use Jack-in-the-Pulpit in the early spring when the children bring to school the first jack-in-the-pulpits. Use Corn Soldiers when you wish to improve the standing position of the pupils. Have class stand while singing this song. Watch the standing positions improve. This is only a suggestion, but how much more effective than a command. Play again and have these soldiers march forward four steps, backward four steps, and repeat. Use Naming the Trees in the Arbor Day exercises. How many names do you know? Write names on board and see how many the class can think of. A splendid song for October and November is The Squirrel. Use for nature study to illustrate the habits of the squirrel. What would you find the squirrel doing? |
