Ah memories. How my 2nd graders and I used to "Shake our Sillies Out".

Ran across this on You Tube today. Brought back classroom memories. This was the perfect remedy to a restless class of little ones. They would calm right down and then put their heads down for a minute or so.



Then Raffi always had a little environmental enlightment for us as well. Watch the little ones in the audience in both videos.



These were relaxing songs with a calming effect.

Even us "Grown Ups" could use a "Shake your Sillies Out" from time to time....

Never too old for that...
