[HANASHIR:9447] Re: Torah in song for 5-6 year olds

[Debra Olitzky <devora85...>]

I believe it's Sounds Write that came out with "Sounds of Torah," with a 
song for each Parsha. I began using it this year with my Elementary 
students. We introduce the weekly portion in T'fillah on Monday morning then 
discuss is a bit more in music class and learn the related song. In fact, 
their favorite song of the whole year was "V'Ahavta L'reiacha" ("Love your 
neighbor as yourself."). They LOVED the songs! They're very catchy tunes 
that are fun to sing. Some are a bit complex, but even my little ones loved 
the challenge!
