Letter Gg Music

Here is the music we had for the
Letter Gg

For Gg week we sang about our mighty God. I had a copy of the Elementary Praise songs we use at our Christian school for chapel. We sang Our God is A Great Big God and There Is No God like Our God. It's so amazing to be home with my sweet and sassy little Shortcake teaching her that God is far bigger than we can ever imagine. No one and no thing can compare to Him!




My God Is So Big by the Wonderkids is now a new family favorite. Even my almost two year old sings out "BIG" every time!





Frog Street's I Can Spell Green Song fit right in to Gg week! From caterpillars to grasshoppers to

Letter Oo Music

We study each letter for two weeks.

Here is the music we had for the
Letter Oo

(Just click on the pictures to find the MP3 on Amazon!)

We had a blast singing On Top of Spaghetti. I had this from a CD not available on Amazon. We had fun doing some silly motions with this one!



I love teaching my kiddos lots of variety of music. From Pop Rock Christian Music to classical to beautiful hymns.

During Oo week we learned O the Deep, Deep Love of
Jesus By Westmont College Praise Team. I tend to sing this song a lot around bed time! Such beautiful lyrics of solid truth!




A great classic from my childhood O Be Careful Little Eyes by the Cedarmont Kids. This song emphasizes that while God, our Father is looking down in love, he desires for us to follow His Will. Shortcake is learning that God knows everything and that we should obey Him because He loves us.









 O Worship the King / This Is My Father's World from the Praise Baby Collection was a great addition to our Letter Oo.

As we sang this song we would make the O with our arms. This was easy peasy for my little O-H-I-O fans :)






How can you not sing O MacDonald Had a Farm by Baby Genius on Oo week? We loved looking at animals that started with the letter Oo so of course we had to find them on the farm :)







Since we are talking about Oo is an ostrich and octopus, we are talking about the color orange for these 2 weeks.

When I taught First Grade, I loved using Frog Street's Colors books and songs! Currently Amazon offers the flip charts & music here. I just recently found some YouTube videos for the color songs!

During the letter Oo week, we sang "I Can Spell Orange". It talks about how carrots, jack o' lanterns, and oranges are always orange.

Bible Connections
Our Bible verse for this week was "Love the Lord your God with all your heart." Deuteronomy 6:5a. (This is included in my Stored In Your Heart Bible Verse Set.) My shortcake loved doing some ASL with this verse we did "love" "Lord" "God" "all" "heart" "6" "5". You can find some signs on my Pinterest Board.

Every week we also pick a prayer person to pray for. It just so happened that my daughter has a friend named LeAnna and another friend named Luke. We made them some cards and sent it to them. We cut out a coloring page for a ladybug and a lion and attached it to a construction paper.
