Since I teach kindergarten, I will HAVE to talk about education.  Our children in North Carolina have to read, write and spell when they leave kindergarten and go to 1st.  Our kindergarten is what 1st grade USED to be and there is more emphasis than ever on PHONICS!!
Let your child listen to this rap ABC's song, I think he/she will like it.  abc'S

See what you think, children learn anything easier and quicker with music!
