Dance and Sing Instructional Videos

with Kathie Bridges

With Happy Hearts We Sing and Dance

“There is hardly a day goes by that we don’t dance together.”
Kathie Bridges

Dancing and singing with children provides a delightful way to enhance language and literacy while creating a joyful classroom.

Kindergarten teacher, Kathie Bridges demonstrates and talks about some of the movements she uses to help children develop rhythm and cross the midline — skills that are essential for reading and writing fluency.

Kindergarten Year-End Rap

adapted by Kathie Bridges

With appreciation to Nora Flanagan at littlegiraffes.com for the original inspiration for this song.

Duh-duh-duh-duh (snap, snap)…

We learned our ABC’s
And counting 1,2,3’s
And now we know all these
The kindergarten class.

We learned how to share
We learned how to care
Just ask us if you dare
The kindergarten class.

Duh-duh-duh-duh (snap, snap)…

It seems we’ve just begun
And now we’re almost done
This year’s been so much fun
The kindergarten class.

And now we say so long
With this our little song
We’ll be back before too long
As the first grade class!

Duh-duh-duh-duh (clap, clap)…
“First Grade!”
