Getting instant cred with my students

Liking their music... here's some of the songs I've admitted to knowing that has helped me create a connection with them...


Letting them listen to the above in class was fun...


My ELD kids didn't know I was secretly Mexican


Of course I knew Big & Rich were at the LA County Fair, and I was just so gosh darn sad I missed it.


Of course the one above required that I sang out "1-2-3-4 HEY! Just you and me moving at the speed of light..." had to sing it to confirm with the kid. He laughed. Good times.

But then I lost some of it by playing this...

You can think whatever you want about the above song.

I have got my students into listening (and learning to love) Adele. Is there any surprise to that? I am amazed how many of them are trying to sing along during independent study time. I knew I loved these kids!
