A Kindergarten Belonging Song

Posted on October 11, 2005

If you listened to the second episode of the podcast, you heard Mrs. Freed-Thall's kindergarten class sing their Belonging Song. In case you couldn't understand some of the words:

We all belong together, we all belong together,
We all belong together in the Butterfly class.

Student's name, student's name and students name,
Student's name, student's name and students name,
in the Buterfly class.

(repeat this verse until you have named all of your students)

We all belong together, we all belong together
We all belong together in the Butterfly class.

This song is important is several ways. It sends the messsage that everyone in the class is important and "belongs" to the class. It also gives the students practice at learning each others names in a fun, "musical" format. Finally, it identifies the class/team name, the Butterflys, and gives the students practice at learning their team name.

Great idea Mrs. Freed-Thall! Thank you.
