Song Suggestions...

Clip to ScrapBook   
First, I sorted all my photos into categories. (First day of school, family photos at Open House, class photos outside, Star Students, awards, Halloween, ice cream day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, book projects, friends, working
at desks, working in partnerships, Valentine's Day, etc.) Then I choose music that went along with each category. I actually just went through my CD's I had at home and at school and I found most of the songs that are listed below. Since my classroom theme is sports, I purchased a Chicago Sports CD since I live in Illinois. I faded each song in and faded each song out at the end
of a musical phrase to match the length of the photos for that particular category. Some of my colleagues chose to one or two songs and played them over and over again to the length of the DVD. Good luck! I hope this helps! Below are some of the songs I used for my Class DVD:


"Memory" (Theme from Cats) (Beginning of DVD)
"Celebration" (Kool and The Gang) (Beginning of DVD)
"Whistle While You Work" (Photos of students working at their desks)
"The Star-Spangled Banner" (Photos of awards Ceremony)
"You Are My Sunshine" (Photos of each student and me)
"Best of Friends" (Disney) (Small groups of friends and class photos)
"Entertainer" (Scott Joplin)
"Fur Elise (Beethoven)
"Monster Mash" (Halloween)
"You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" (Annie) (Photos of smiling students)
"When You Wish Upon a Star" (Disney) (Star Students)
"We Are the Champions" (Queen)
"Chicago Bulls Intro Music"
"Going to the Zoo" (Peter, Paul, and Mary) (Zoo field trip)
"So Long, Farewell" (Sound of Music) (End of DVD)
"Climb Every Mountain" (Sound of Music) (End of DVD)
