About Me

I am a teacher in a Senior Infant classroom in Ireland (the equivalent of a Kindergarten class in the U.S.). I love my job and am constantly trying to come up with new ideas for lessons and ways to motivate my children to learn. I hope to use this blog as a way to share some practical lesson ideas that are tried and tested and most importantly, placed in the context of a wider unit of work to make them as useful and practical as possible. Hope you enjoy our Senior Infant Adventures in Learning!

      Hi Kate. Unfortunately, this is a song I learned off my mother when I was little and since I've started teaching, I have been looking for it EVERYWHERE online - to no avail. I have considered trying to experiment with finding the notes on the piano, but haven't had the time unfortunately.
      I know this is probably too late for your teaching practice, but Youtube have a LOT of ESL type songs about shopping which can be pretty useful an infant setting also. It sometimes just takes a little bit of hunting!
      Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

      Don't forget how much time they will spend writing homework and packing up in the first few weeks, so don't be too ambitious with time after lunch!
