Dylan’s favourite song

Student	Dylan	Date	1 September 2008
Topic	Joining in classroom singing	Observer	Maureen (teacher)

Intended learning

To join in with the class as we sing to start the day.

This week, for singing, I decided to sing, “I Know an Old Lady” as Dylan knew this very well by now. It had become his favourite and whenever his teacher aide or one of the children was reading to him, this was the book he chose from his browsing box.

Dylan had been to the office with a buddy to take the roll return. When he walked back into the room we were just about to begin singing.

Dylan heard the music for “I Know an Old Lady” and immediately got the book from the bookshelf. He said, “That’s my song!” He proceeded to sing along and turn the pages to the song. He was so excited that when the music stopped he said, “Can we have it again?” So we did.
