My youngest kiddos learn nursery rhymes and popular children's songs and then we take them and adapt them and make different versions of the songs.  One song my Kindergarten kiddos learned this year was Baa Baa Black Sheep.  If you want to learn about my original IN-PERSON lesson I share with kids you can see the process I use here. 

So, my students already know this poem/song but if they didn't you could easily do an intro video for them to teach the song or you could find a video online which teaches the poem.  Here's the follow up, online content I'm going to share with kids.

Remember the poem we learned in class called Baa Baa Black Sheep?  Here are the words:

Baa Baa Black Sheep have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full

One for the master, one for the dame
one for the little boy who lives down the lane

Then when we had learned the poem/song we read the book about Baa Baa Black Sheep.  I found a fun recording online of another music teacher reading this book.  Check it out below:

It's our first real week of digital learning assignments for students and we have pretty low expectations for Kindergarten.  It's not that our KDG kiddos can't do a lot, it's that they're still working out how to get online, how to find our assignments, how to submit assignments, and lots of other logistical things.  So, instead of ask them to watch and submit, or watch and respond, or do an online quiz... I'm asking them just to watch and sing along.  I've already had a couple parents send me emails of thanks that their kid can watch and sing and be engaged.

In this set, I'm including songs that we might already know (might have learned in class this year) and a few we probably don't already know.  If you have any other favorite barnyard animal songs/videos leave a comment in the box at the end of the post and I'll include them in the post.

Let's head down to the barnyard and sing some of our favorite songs!  If you know the song, sing along as you watch!
