People sing because they are happy,
and they are happy because they sing!
Start your day with a song and you’ll be singing all day long! Why? Because when you sing your brain emits endorphins and endorphins make you HAPPY!
Hint! Choose one song and use it every day for a few months. It will then become an "indicator" in the brain to remind your students to get ready for a great day!
