A song about white nose syndrome in bats. Written from the perspective of a bat and explaining what happens, how the bats might feel, and what humans can do to prevent the spread. Includes scientific names for the fungus.

This song gets several ever-song, or multi-tool designations from Kathryn. It is written as a zipper song, and specifically to substitute a body part to a place. It could be called the "part to the place" song. Kathryn teachers educators to use this song as a CodeVerb™ song, where we can use the special interest of a child, and a playful pretend to help children do something, like fish to the river, or horsies to the barn. Use with current topic. Use with a long-term item in the space, or invent a way to connect the song to a journey you want the children to take, like going along the hall to the bathroom, using a representation of a river (could be blue painter's tape) and having the kiddos do "fish to the river". Use this powerful song as a multitool at different parts of the day. Coordinate with another teacher down the hall, or parent, or use it as a school or center culture creator but having pretend pathways around the school. These pathways could change over time or could stay the same. I love the celebration part of this song as well. The "hooray" is an opportunity for self-regulation, with kiddos being louder or smaller. Group guide indicates with fingers how loud to be when children join in saying "hooray"!

A song about being a narwhal and using horn and tail as we turn around to give space to other people. Written as a social distancing song during the pandemic and continued to encourage space when kiddos need space for activities.

a simple, repetitive lulabye with counting sheep

Variation of Verb to the Noun

This is a social-emotional song a bout an oak tree. Intended to pair with an oakie doakie tree check in, during which the child indicates their feelings. It is also intended to provide a space for kiddos to self-regulate to cool down or begin to name big feelings they are having. It is NOT intended as a time out space. It's about understanding self and having things to do to regulate self, while providing a safe way for a child to opt out of an activity. This is intended to be trauma- informed and to be introduced as an option, with the educators or family honoring the request for oakie doakie tree time.
