Singin' the Standards is a CD of songs for elementary school students. Each song acts as a mnemonic device allowing children to instantly recall information learned in school. 21 songs address topics such as angle names, good writer habits, skip counting, prefix meanings, measurement and conversion, and much more.
Singin' the Standards is a CD recording that is STANDARDS BASED. Each and every song addresses different basic standards which apply to several grade levels (primarily grades 2 through 5.)
Singin’ the Standards contains very simple songs written to familiar, catchy tunes. Students master these songs after only a few listens. Kids will sing them over and over again in their heads and aloud.
Singin’ the Standards is classroom tested. In fact, these songs have been recorded professionally because of the incredible effect the music was having on student performance and attitude in Tim's classroom. The magic was too powerful to keep a secret. Students love these songs and use them to improve academic performance. This CD makes your classroom come alive!
Read the user reviews below...comments by teachers, parents and even students.
Singin' the Standards is also available as a fundraiser, a perfect fund raising choice. Just think...your organization makes money while your students learn academic standards. Now all your students can listen to the CD at home while they go to sleep at night. That's some GOOD brainwashing!
Customer Reviews
WOW!
What a valuable resource for engaging students in learning!
Reviewer: Terri Stahlheber
I feel so fortunate to have had Singin' the Standards referred to me. I know
that it is going to help my students remember some of those tougher
standards. I introduced the Parts of Speech song on the first day of school.
My third graders were very eager to sing along. On the back of my weekly
newsletter, I printed the lyrics so that they can sing the song at home with
their families. Ü Tomorrow, we'll sing the song many more times. Next week,
we're going to learn and sing about the 4 kinds of sentences. I'm sure that
song will be a hit too. I know this CD is going to be one of the best
purchases I've made in my 19 years of teaching. Thanks, Tim!!!!! Ü Terri
Great way to add some life to
third grade standards
Reviewer: Cecilia Z.
I have only had this CD for about two weeks and have already integrated
three songs into my lessons. It is perfect for third graders. They
especially love the quadrilateral song.
Outstanding tool to promote mastery learning!!!
Reviewer: Carole Allenbach
Outstanding, motivating tool to promote mastery learning! Use it in my 2nd
grade classroom and with my own children at home and in the car!
My students are always singing along
Reviewer: Meghan McCutcheon
I somehow stumbled upon the website, CDBaby.com, and found this CD. I have
used it with my third grade students, and we all love it! We especially love
the songs related to math - my students are always singing along. Thanks for
such a great CD!
Best teacher-students all passed 3rd grade test
Reviewer: Charlotte Kazmier
my granddaughter is a new teacher. teaches 3rd grade with mostly English
learners. all passed the standard 3rd grade test. She cannot praise this CD
too much. Taught the spelling part as the district instructed kids didn't
get it until she played this CD. Hooray for Tim!!!
I love it for my fifth graders!
Reviewer: Danielle Froelich
I love it for my fifth graders, and they love it too! It completely ties in
with the standards, the music is easy to remember, and it is a great filler
activity between subjects!
This CD
is a Must Buy!
Reviewer: Anna Tirello
After listening to this CD I feel that it is an essential tool for any
classroom where interactive learning is a priority. This CD not only teaches
students about the standards but it reinforces what they have learned in
class through songs. I highly recommend this CD for all elementary grade
levels.
This CD is great!
Reviewer: Bea Jackson
This CD is really catchy and fun for the students. I've only had it two
weeks, but we've already used the Synonyms, Antonyms, and Homonyms and some
of the times tables. I've shared it with colleagues and copied the lyrics
for my students. What a great tool to help kids remember the standards in an
enjoyable way!
Great!
Reviewer: Margery Koenig
I bought these for my 3 granddaughters who teach elementary school. One
teaches special ed. They thought they were great, too!! Thanx.
My 3rd graders LOVE it and beg to
sing the songs!!!
Reviewer: Heidi Goodman
My 3rd graders love Singin' the Standards! They really enjoy the various
beats and songs. When we took a test recently I could actually hear some of
them sing some of the songs under their breath to help them remember various
concepts. Thanks for making teaching so much fun!
What a
fun way to learn the skills required as listed in the standards
Reviewer: Geri Ehrlich
My students will learn much faster by listening to familiar songs written in
this way than by listening to me. I just love the CD.
What a
great way to get students to memorize information
Reviewer: Jean Verrell
The is a great way to teach, review and reinforce the standards. The songs
are fun to sing and varied so that the tunes are enjoyable to listen to. I
recommend this CD to all Elementary teachers!!!
Great CD
for learning!
Reviewer: Riley Drexel
This CD gets you to just strat singing. My sister is in 3rd grade, and she
loves the song Polly Wolly Perfix. I think this CD will be used in many
classes because it helps you learn the standards..
This CD
is Great!
Reviewer: Roddy St.Yves
By using this CD to accompany my classroom instruction, my students were
able to retain much more information than students in my previous 20 years
of teaching. I plan to make it a regular part of my daily instruction.
A great
way to take standards and make it exciting for the kids to learn.
Reviewer: Tammy Drabek
I love how the CD is teaching the kids math, reading, and language arts but,
making it fun. Getting them out of their seat; singing and dancing. I am
definitely going to use this cd for my first grader. Thanks a million!
This cd
is AWESOME!
Reviewer: Brianna Buchanan
I am 8 years old and I want to play my cd every single day. My favorite one
is the Parallel song. But they are all GREAT! It helps me on my tests. I
just have to sing the song in my head. Then I know the answers.
These
song help your brain grow
Reviewer: jomark (3rd grade "English Language Learner" in Mr. Bedley's
class)
these cd is the best cd that i ever hear
A great
way to incorporate music in the classroom
Reviewer: Heather Goble
With all the pressures of state testing, teachers have to focus so much on
academics that there seems to be no time for fun. This CD is a great way to
teach students and have fun at the same time. Singing is an excellent
memorization tool, and the students don't even realize they're exercising
their brains. Using this CD is the perfect way to reinforce concepts, liven
up a boring school day, and show students that learning can be enjoyable.
These
Songs Make Your Brain Grow!
Reviewer: Tymerie Vincelli
I'm in Mr.
Bedley's class and I sing these songs to make me learn more. I like sharing
these songs with other children so they can learn more and it makes me happy
to hear other kids in other classes sing Mr. Bedley's songs. My most
favorite song is the writers song and it sounds right to me. These songs are
really good for our brains.
WHAT AN
AMAZING TOOL THAT WORKS IN TEACHING CHILDREN!
Reviewer: Sheila Cervantes
My child has had a lot of difficulty learning. She has had wonderful
Teachers every year, but still she has struggled. We have listened to this
CD and learned all these songs. And for the first time my daughter is
getting good grades without struggling. Now she is having fun learning. She
understands perpendicular, quadrilateral, antonyms, homonyms, equilateral,
etc., as a result of listening regularly to this CD. She has great
confidence now and enjoys teaching these songs to other children. Thank you
for this amazing tool. P.S. I catch myself singing these songs when the kids
are not around. I'm not quite sure I like that.:)
Fun
music!- Great learning tool!
Reviewer: Sara Christiansen
My second grade class really enjoys the upbeat music. The songs have catchy
tunes and really stick with you (whether you want them to or not. I find
myself singing about prefixes and plural words. These songs have helped my
class remember the concepts they are learning. Very well done!
Mr.
Bedley's CD is fun, interactive, and loved by the students!
Reviewer: Amy Nasr
Mr. Bedley's "Singin' the Standards" CD is awesome! The lyrics are creative
and easy to remember. My students ask everyday to listen to the songs! This
CD teaches students key state standards in a fun, energetic way. The lyrics
and the movements are is easy to learn and to remember. Thank you so much
Mr. B!!!!
My
students love the songs and they are helping them remember the standards.
Reviewer: M. Anderson
Awesome learning tool! My class loves the catchy tunes. I'm already noticing
students remembering concepts after only using the CD for two weeks. This
should be in every elementary classroom in the USA.
I Love
the Songs
Reviewer: Jeannie Bartholomew
This CD is really great. I heard the songs for the first time in another
teachers class. I thought it was a great way to learn. I am getting the CD
for my son to use over the summer. Thank You Mr. B
This CD
is Wonderful!
Reviewer: Jennifer Early
It works for a variety of grade levels. You have inspired me to compile my
partner and I to compile our own material. Thanks for sharing!!!
