Discover and Learn Characters: Sleepy Sam

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Childrens Music

Discover and Learn has a character that a lot of kids can relate to named Sleepy Sam.

Sleepy is always underestimated and misunderstood. He got his name “Sleepy Sam” because he talks really slow. What most people don’t know is that Sleepy is extremely smart. He always says, “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.”He loves video games, watching old movies and cooking.

Sleepy is featured on the “Additon Rap” song that is geared toward K4 thru 4th grade students.

This is the short story version of this particular character and as you can see, his story is all over the country, especially the kids that are underestimated because of slow speech.

All of the Discover and Learn characters are there to represent a segment of the population that kids can relate to and with their learning songs, kids cds, songs about math and other subjects, we hope to educate them as well.

Kids are under estimated

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Childrens Music

The kids today are exposed to so many distractions. The good news they are exposed to a lot of good things too. The trick is getting them interested in the good stuff over the bad.

Which it is why it is more important than ever to  be creative in teaching and have as much fun doing it as possible.

The first thing to remember is not to under estimate kids yearning to learn. It may look like they really don’t but kids are sometimes hard to read. One thing for sure is when they know something they want everyone to know that they know.

Just go into a classroom and ask a question that students think they know and you will see a rush of hands up and screams of – ME! ME! ME!

So remember to introduce children’s educational music, learning songs, songs that teach, learning games, cds that teach and anything that will encourage kids to learn into your classrooms.

Let’s not under estimate our kids.

Amani’s World: a great book for kids

Posted on February 2, 2012 by Childrens Music

“Amani Goes to Washington D.C.” is the first adventure that we all get to go on, under the “Amani’s World” series. Amani is a little girl that loves taking pictures of her family vacations. Because she has been to so many exciting and fun places, she thought that it would be fun to share with you all of her special memories. Since she has so many pictures and notes, it wouldn’t all fit into one book. She decided to create a series of stories with the help of her best friend in the whole wide world, “Bunny”.

Created by author, Eddie Rutledge, Amani’s World is a great book for kids to read and highly recommended by the creator of Discover and Learn.

Discover and Learn- The best in Children’s Educational music, specializing in:

Phonics, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction, States and Capitals, the Solar System and much more.

Today’s Kids not much different

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Childrens Music

Today’s kids are not much different than the previous generation. Of course they are exposed to a much different world. Technology and the information age we live in has changed a lot on how we communicate and connect.

But some things never change with kids, they love to have fun, they have more energy, they love to giggle and laugh, they want everything they see, and yes, they get into trouble sometimes.

The way kids learn also has not changed much. Kids love characters, and songs, and stories, creativity and they soak up information like a sponge.

With that in mind let’s remember to expose them to learning songs, songs that teach, teaching games, teaching characters, educational music and music that teaches.

Kids are not much different than we were.

Kids need creativity

Posted on January 12, 2012 by Childrens Music

We all remember as kids the class that we dreaded going to because we thought it was boring or we didn’t like the teacher.

Sometimes the real truth was that a particular teacher did their job and required us to learn.

However, there were times that a class just simply lacked creativity.

Teachers have to remember that most kids imagination is far bigger than we sometimes realize and we must tap into it.

Learning songs, Cd’s for kids, music websites for kids, educational music for children, educational games and contest are all great ideas for the classroom and creative teaching.

Just remember kids need creativity.

Teachers need help

Posted on January 10, 2012 by Childrens Music

Teaching is a tough profession. Especially in the environment that we live in today. Kids are so distracted with the internet, tv shows, movies, ipods and the list goes on and on. Many classrooms are too large and sometimes resources are scarce.

Many school budgets are also under attack and music programs are being cut everyday.

There is hope though and gold at the end of the rainbow.

Parents that support their kids at school statistically have a far greater chance of  success than those that don’t.

There are many tools at their disposal to help our teachers out such as: parent groups, tutoring services, children’s educational music, kids cds, music websites for kids, learning songs and all kinds of websites that teachers can tap into for resources.

Let’s help our teachers as much as possible by making it easier for kids to learn.

Discover Kids Music Again

Posted on January 6, 2012 by Childrens Music

I may be old fashioned, but the music today seems to be getting just a tad harsh and disrespectful. A lot of the images that kids see with the music, I feel may not be productive.

Of course every generation takes their music culture a little further than the previous generations.

So I don’t want to sound too fuddy duddy.

I just want us not to forget to expose our kids and students to music that is educational, fun, and yes, productive and clean, especially the younger ones. God knows they’ll be exposed to the other stuff weather we like it or not.

Let’s just make sure we make a strong effort at finding kids music that teaches math, science, safety, geography and all kinds of good stuff like that.

You can find these teaching tools at kids music websites, learning songs, songs that teach, Cd’s for kids, all over the Internet, like Itunes and CD Baby.

Let’s discover Kids Music Again.

2012:The Education of Children

Posted on January 1, 2012 by Childrens Music

Let’s make the year 2012, the year of Education of Children. Teachers, parents, homeschoolers, they all have a stake in making our children the best and the brightest for the future.

This is a more difficult task than ever before with all the distractions that kids have to overcome, not to mention, more and more of them are coming from broken families.

But we can also look at it as a opportunity that we have never had before.

The first thing we must always remember is kids really do want to learn. Of course there are those that do not do well in the classroom setting, that does not mean they don’t want to learn.

We must find creative teaching techniques that will reach all kids, weather it’s audio visual, music websites for kids, children’s educational music, kids cds, music for young children, contest, games or whatever it may be.

This year is all about the children and what they learn..the future of the world is at stake.

They’ll thank you later

Posted on December 14, 2011 by Childrens Music

It’s Christmas morning and the kids wake up to a wonderful pancake aroma. You can see the icey frost on the windows and holiday music is playing in the background, what a setting. The kids tear into their gifts one by one, as gift wrapping paper flies through the air.

A model car, an ipod, some ear phones, a new sweater, a video game… a kids educational music cd?

Well, your little one throws it to the side anyway and makes a mental note to check it out later , after the fun stuff, of course, they don’t want to hurt your feelings, you tried?..they tell themselves.

As the day goes on, they finally get to the educational cd and give it a look over.

They see some fun looking characters on the cover they didn’t notice at first.

Now they get a little more interested and pop in the disc.

They listen to songs about multiplication, an addition song, states and capitals, the solar system song , and the music is pretty cool and fun.

They enjoy it and are having a lot more fun than they thought.

It may not be the latest Justin Bieber CD, but as they become adults and appreciate how you also thought of their education ..they’ll thank you later.
