(The Muffin Man song with my daughters name and street inserted in.) The teacher was so pleased she is going to use the same method to help the other kids learn their streets. So yes, yes! Singing is a great way to teach little ones. Although I am stumped for a tune to put our phone number into. Any ideas?Mama Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10286811333081238266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072851564194651702.post-86502104978372873042010-02-03T00:28:08.411-05:002010-02-03T00:28:08.411-05:00Great post, and great suggestions for writing your...Great post, and great suggestions for writing your own songs. I have made up my own songs for so many years, I have never sat down to think about how I make them up, but your list pretty much hits it right on the nail. <br /><br />I was always making up songs about the things we were learning in the Special ed classes I worked in, that helped the kids to remember the material.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132185749852282347noreply@blogger.com
