Self-Esteem
Feelings

In case you haven't noticed, I love using video clips with my students. It's a fun way to grab their attention and transition into a lesson.

I just found one of the most adorable television shows ever...yes, EVER! Small Potatoes is about four singing potatoes who travel the world making music and making friends. Each three-minute episode contains a song about a specific topic and audio clips of children reflecting on that topic.
As described on the Small Potatoes website, the show helps children to:
1. Develop an understanding of how to make friends.
2. Laugh and relax through humor.
3. Develop an appreciation of a variety of music.
4. Process their emotions through music.

You can create your own potato through the Small Potatoes Facebook page. Check out mine (left).

No problem! I watched a bunch of them at 2 in the morning and couldn't stop smiling. Late night blogging + singing potatoes = fun. :)

Thanks for sharing! I love these videos! I am a board certified music therapist studying to become a school counselor. I am working on developing the direction of my thesis and exploring how elementary school counselors utilize music and it's effectiveness. I just discovered your site, and can't wait to discover more!
