Recess Music Gratitude Attitude CD Review! I am constantly searching for ways to teach my children in a fun way. I feel they grasp things quicker when they are in a stress free environment and in good spirits. Homeschooling isn't easy but if I can remember to keep things fun then they will work hard and do their part. We tend to listen to music a lot during the day especially in between math and language to help "readjust" our attitudes, including mine! Music has an amazing effect on people and it works for us! Being that we listen to music and use it in our daily school day, I was excited to receive the Recess Music Gratitude Attitude CD to review! This is the newest cd and it comes out today 8/27/13! When you listen to this cd you feel as if you have a cheering squad behind you singing sweetly to your children about things that you have told them countless times but yet doesn't seem to soak in. For example, there is a song that sings about when … [Read more...]
