Singing While We Work

Hi Friends!

So, now that we are effectively back in full swing, it's time to start sharing again!  Sometimes it can get a little challenging to get through a lesson with C.J.  Since I am not one to just slide him right along without the confirmation that he has fully understood and grasped the concepts in which I am teaching, I must improvise.  Sometimes he is off in his own world and I have to resort to other techniques to tug-of-war him back in.  One technique that he usually responds to is singing.  C.J. is a music lover like me and music also taps into a different portion of the brain for communication and learning.  So, that is the first technique I turn to when just plain presenting and monotony have proven unsuccessful for the day.  I have attached a video clip for an example and for all of you visual learners. :)  I hope you enjoy!
