Lyrics\r
\r
Macarena Count to 100\r
1 (Right arm out palm down.)\r
2 (Left arm out palm down.)\r
3 (Right palm up.)\r
4 (Left palm up.)\r
5 (Right hand on left shoulder.)\r
6 (Left hand on right shoulder.)\r
7 (Right hand behind head.)\r
8 (Left hand behind head.)\r
9 (Right hand on left hip.)\r
10 (Left hand on right hip.)\r
(Clap two times.)\r
That is one ten. (Hold up one finger.)\r
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 (clap clap) That is two tens.\r
21-100\r
\r
Activities: Point to the numerals on a 100 chart as you sing.\r
Skip count using the Macarena. Counting by 2s, 5s, 10s, etc. will help children with\r
multiplication. \r
Do expanded notation with the body movements. Clap the ones, stomp the tens, and snap the\r
hundreds.\r
Can children count backwards from 100??\r
Trace around each childs hand on a 7” square. Let them decorate their hands with markers or\r
crayons. Put their hands together to make a book called “High Five to 100” by writing 5, 10, 15,\r
20…100 on each page.\r
\r
You can make a similar book called “Give Me Ten to 100” by tracing toes!\r
\r
Dr. Jeans songs are on iTunes. Macarena Count to 100 is on the CD All Day Long.\r
\r
Dr. Jean also sings, The Banana Dance, a popular YouTube song about avocados, oranges and guacamole.\r
\r
Has anyone ever told you that you “cant sing”? Ive been told that myself many times. Thats the great thing about children. They dont know you cant sing if you put a smile on your face andenthusiastic.\r
\r
Parents, teachers and pre-school, Kindergarten and first grade youngsters will all enjoy school more and likely improve learning when music is part of the classroom environment.\r
\r
Someone once reminded me that “a gift from the heart is always received by the heart.” We may not all be rock stars or be able to play an instrument, but we can share the magic and joy of music in our classrooms every day. And with all the academic pressure, music is clearly the “spoonful of sugar” to help the medicine go down.\r
\r
Tooty Ta is another favorite among Dr. Jeans fans, but she has many popular songs on her 17 CDs and 2 DVDs.\r
\r
Kids, parents and teachers could improve learning by singing every day in class and at home.\r
\r
Here are the top ten reasons to SING every day!\r
\r
1. When you sing your brain emits endorphins, and endorphins make you happy! Emotions are critical to learning.\r
\r
2. Music is multi-sensory. The more senses you get going to the brain, the more likely the message will get there.\r
\r
3. Music is powerful for prior-learning. If children are exposed to concepts while singing, it is easier for them to learn when formally introduced.\r
\r
4. Music nurtures phonemic awareness (alliteration, rhyme, etc.).\r
\r
5. Songs and chants are a natural way to develop oral language and auditory memory.\r
\r
6. Poems and songs lay a foundation for fluency and enhance short term memory.\r
\r
7. Children are able to use their imaginations and create pictures in their brains when they sing. This is an important part of reading comprehension.\r
\r
8. Repetition is a key to learning. It is much more fun to repeat songs than worksheets!\r
\r
9. Singing and dancing relieve stress and oxygenate the brain.\r
\r
10. Through music and movement ALL children can feel successful. A “community of learners” is enhanced when teachers and children enjoy something together!\r
\r
There was a study that was reported on National Public Radio called “Alive Inside.” In the research study they made iPods of songs that had a special significance to patients suffering from dementia and Alzheimers. These patients didnt recognize family members, but when they heard the music they tapped their feet, sang the words, and smiled! So many things that we do in our classrooms will be forgotten, but the songs will be stored in childrens brains for a lifetime! What a privilege to be able to do this!
