vocabulary

My students have been struggling with vocabulary.  So I decided to add some music to it.  I found a science teacher that writes songs and posts them on all different science topics.  I have the students read the chapter and we write down the words. Then I print out the words to the song and have them listen first to the song.  Then we replay it a couple times and have them sing along with the video.  We repeat this everyday and they love it.  They are going home singing and teaching others the song.  This has helped them to add music to what they are learning and they don't realize that they are really learning it.  To see them during the test singing the song in their head, lets me know that it is working.  This is a fun way to learn vocabulary and the students love it.
