Three Cheers

Three cheers for the newest book by beloved early child educator, Ellen Booth Church! The Great Big Book of Classroom Songs, Rhymes and Cheers is a delightful collection that weaves traditional old favorites with brand new material. It offers well organized ways to incorporate fun into language experiences for children. Whether you are teaching the alphabet or using music for cleanup routines, Ms. Church offers a creative approach. Each rhyme or song is accompanied with several activities to extend the learning experience. The book is divided into chapters dealing with a variety of topics from circle time to science. One especially unique section uses multicultural rhymes that helps young children explore other cultures. The chapter "Alphabet Rhymes" is comprised of original rhymes by Ms. Church that are quite fun. What child would forget the letter "p" after eating and chanting a "pile of purple pancakes"? Whether you are a beginner in the field of early childhood education , or an old veteran, this book will be a valuable instrument to bring song into the hearts of children.
