I'm looking for good songs for my End-of-the-Year Slideshow and easy software to create it.
I'm already using We are Going to be Friends, by Jack Johnson, Let Them be Little, by Lonestar, and I'm on My Way, by Phil Collins.
I need 2 or 3 more. Thanks!
Dream Big by Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband!
I use Jack Hartmans "We are a family" – I teach them signs and we sing it for the parents as part of our celebration!
Rascal Flats "My Wish" and I use Smilebox and it's really easy and turns out great!!
"Thank God for Kids", "My Wish" by Rascal Flats and "Then They Do" by Trace Adkins. These are a few of my favorites.
Now and Forever, from the movie A League of Their Own.
‎"Unwritten" by Natasha Benningfield, "Gotta Be" by Des'ree, "Soar" by Christina Aguilera.
The Rainbow Connection and Somewhere over the Rainbow!!!
You've got a Friend in Me, from the Toy Story movie.
I like Dan Zanes for our end of the year slideshow.
My Wish by country artists Rascal Flatts.
We use the songs from the classroom they love and sing all year! That way they will always have their K music memories too!
I hope You'll Dance…..I hope You never lose Your sense of wonder…..beautiful song! I used it for graduation one year.
Uncle Kracker's "You Make Me Smile".
I think it's called For the Better, from the musical Wicked…I use it as the last song! Makes me cry every time!
Getting to Know You by James Taylor for beginning, Child of Mine by Carole King…causes Niagara Falls every year during my showing.
I always use "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts too!
I use iMovie (on the MacBook)….it's very easy to add the pictures and music, and you just burn it to a DVD when you're finished.
Tom Pease has some great songs that I have used for my videos.
Photo Story (not Photoshop) :>) Very easy. Even I can do it.
How about The Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston?
I use Windows Movie Maker – pretty easy.
We do one called "First Grade, First Grade"……it goes to the New York, New York tune. I think I got it off of Kindercorner.com, but I'm not sure. We just practiced it today again and it is SOOOOO CUTE!!
The school year is all done.
Aren't you proud of me!
We also sing our goodbye song that we sing every day.
Get all your stuff and pack it up and stand up in a row.
I'll wave to you, you wave to me, we give a little clap.
Until we meet in First Grade, when we'll all be back!
I change my songs every year. I really like The World is a Rainbow. Its a cute song.
We sure had an awesome time!
We always do the "First Grade, First Grade" song to "New York, NY"…it is adorable! Also added in "You've Got a Friend in Me" from Toy Story…I found a super cute kid-done version to use…really cute!
Songs I have set my end of year slide show to : One Light One Sun by Raffi, You've Got a Friend in Me by Randy Newman … from Toy Story soundtrack, The World is a Rainbow by Greg and Steve. Songs I have the kids perform: It's a Beautiful Day off Greg and Steve's We all Live Together, two songs by Jack Hartmann: Spread a little Sunshine and One Small Voice, then the Good Bye song also from Greg and Steve.
‎"Kindergarten Nights" to the song Summer Lovin from Grease, we did this while wearing sunglasses really cute. We also do one to the theme of the Adams Family, A Beautiful Day by Jack Hartmann, All I Really Need by Raffi is cute too!
For the past 2 years, I have had my PreK classes sing "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Grogan. They actually remember the words and sing it well, and the parents love it!
I found it, it is called fun finish. We are practicing it is a really cute song! If anyone would like the words let me know.
My daughter's class sang and signed What a Wonderful World. It was beautiful.
New words to "Hey Look Us Over" tune.
almost out of Kindergarten, smart up to here (hand at forehead).
we went to ________ and to _____ ________ ________ _______(fill in blanks with field trip places).
we can do most anything the future can demand!
—–The kids really enjoy it.
These songs made me so sad. Just was told that my principal is moving me to first grade after 33 years in Kindergarten. Such a sad time for me. Nothing is like the K kids.
One Small Voice by Jack Hartmann is the best! I play it every year!
I've used Time of Your Life by Good Riddance and also The Climb by Miley Cyrus. Also, onetruemedia.com is a great media tool. very simple. It's free but I've paid to upgrade because they offer more. $40 for a year with a free dvd.
Anyone have the patterns for the graduations hats in the lead picture?
