JJ & Curious George

[Jaykob]

Hey all, I went out and bought the disc today. I love it! I advise anyone who is into plain chill music to check it out! It's the perfect disc to drive to, work to, pretty much anything!


Yea, I plan on playing it for my classfull of Fourth Graders tomorrow!

[ben04]

ooh I am going to play it for my 6th graders... they will think I am a dork (which is normal) but they love jack so it is okay!

[Clete-Tron]

I got it yesterday, the kids arent as much into it as I was hoping. But the songs are cute, jungle gym and upside downsmileys/smiley4.gifOH this is my first post, smileys/smiley16.gifhi everyone

[Jaykob]

My kids were totally digging it as they did their writer's workshop. They asked if it could be played during a social studies test. Only if they were good I told them! Yea, after someone wrote on someone else, multiple poking instances, a recess taken away from another teacher, and a swearing instance...I had to deny them the grooves.


They were not having a good day...tomorrow will be better.

[swaytosway]

I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but what I have I liked. It's happy like a picnic at the beach, or clean socks, or eating a popsicle-running through the sprinkler.
Plus, in the jungle gym song, they spoke to me. Who would have thought? Shalalalala that's pretty much my name, minus a few la-la's, and using the less common pronunciation, where the N is silent.Shala(n) Will wonders never cease? First Bob Marley on my asphalt, now this.

Okay only another teacher would appreciate the writers workshop comment.... That is when I play music as well. Actually I tend to play a lot of jack, just becausehe is so kid friendly.Today one of my students wrote a poem about Jack and how much I like him:) It was pretty funny... then one of my smart asses pulled a poem about kenny chesney out of his ass to piss me off. I told him he got an F for the day.


But the bad day must be going around, today was a horrible day for me as well. a melt down from a kid not even 5 minutes into the day started Thursday off great!! Now I am off to drink some winesmileys/smiley5.gif

[Jaykob]

It must be going around. My kids were off the wall again, luckily no big episodes. The crappiest thing is that I have 4 guided reading books to prepare by Tuesday. To break it down...32 lessons full w/ vocabulary, an activity, and guided reading questions. It's going to be one hell of a weekend!


I'm not complaining, I love my job! Well, not complaining too much.


ben, I've also been playing DMB's long jams for the kids. They really like that. Anything else I should try out on them?

[ben04]

well I had another kid have a melt down yesterday... that is two in two days and we are in 6th grade for god sake.Report cards are next week for us, so I have to get my shit together.


As for other music to play, my kids like Tristan andThe Beatles. I will have to try DMB.

[Mr. Cleanface]

So, is this disc good???


Is it like a new JJ album, or are the songs more geared towards kids???


Should I buy it for myself, or buy it for the neices and nephews on their B-Days???

[Jaykob]

Well, it's the soundtrack to Curious George so it isgeared a little towards children.


I'm totally diggin itwhen I'm by myself.I'd get it if I were you.

[ben04]

yeah I would get it too... My 6 year old nephew was loving it today. We listened to it all the way to the movie and back. Good movie too. If you have little ones I would def. go!

[ramble on rose]

[Clete-Tron]
