Carrie Rael says
Jodie, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR ARTICLES AND RECOMMENDATIONS. I AM LOOKING ST PURCHASING THE CIRCLE TIME SONGS AND CHANTS FOR MY KINDER CLASS NEXT YEAR. I WORK AT A JEWISH SCHOOL. ARE A LOT OF THE SONGS RELATED TO TRADITIONAL HOLIDAYS? SO MANY TIMES I PURCHASE RESOURCES ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY ARE FULL OF HALLOWEEN, CHRISTMAS, ETC. THEMES THAT I CAN’T USE. I AM GETTING SMARTER AND HAVE LEARNED TO ASK BEFORE I BUY! THANK YOU!
BTW – WE DO CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING, EARTH DAY, ETC. BUT NOT HALLOWEEN, CHRISTMAS, VALENTINES DAY, ST. PATRICKS DAY, AND EASTER.

Carrie, I just sent you a detailed email. But, also wanted to comment here for other readers. There is no mention of specific holidays in either Circle Time Songs and Chants Vol. 1 or 2. There are some songs about things that are often associated with holidays such as bunnies, shamrocks, or turkeys but the songs to do focus on a holiday or holiday specifics. Hope that helps. Best, Jodie

Suzy says
Before I buy, could you let me know a few more of the titles/topics? Thanks,
Suzy
Jodie Rodriguez says
Hi Suzy, topics/concepts include Learning the Alphabet, Rhyming, Syllable Counting, Phonemic Awareness (letter sounds), More Phonological Awareness Fun (onset and rhyme, blending, and phoneme manipulation), Learning Your Name, and Building Vocabulary. Most of the songs are year-round and a few our seasonal such as “Turkey Counting Rhyme”, “There Was a Snowman in Our Yard”, “Jumpin Up and Down” has shamrocks, and “The Leaves of the Trees” talks about fall colors of leaves. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Best, Jodie
