How Singing Supports Her Work
Kathy uses music continuously in preschool special-education settings. She uses songs to reinforce themes like food, farm, and seasons, and also to guide routines such as circle time, cleanup, and transitions.
Her advice emphasizes rhythm, silly words, actions, and visual supports like books, puppets, and pictures.
Favorite Songs
- Can You Sit In A Circle / Listen To The Drum
- Clap Clap Clap Clap Your Hands
- I Had a Bird / Bought Me a Cat / Fiddle-I-Fee

One Thing To Remember
Children already have an instinctive connection to music. Kathy's guidance is to lean into songs with rhythm, imitation, and clear contrasts like loud and soft or fast and slow, because those playful musical patterns also support learning.
