This is a very impressive list. Do you "really" have time to sing ALL of these songs? How long are your classes and how often do you get to see them. I do some of them, but with limited time, I have to be selective.
Also, have you done Debbie Friedman's "Plant A Tree for Tu B'shvat"? Everyone that I teach, from the preschoolers to the 6th graders, LOVE this song.
