“Where words fail, music speaks” – Hans Christian Anderson- Singing often brings more to children than words. I sing everything and everywhere with children at school.
Jennie Fitzkee has been a pre-school teacher for over thirty years, I have reblogged several of her posts because they demonstrate how a dedicated and passionate teacher can ignite imagination and a passion for books and music in the very young. Today Jennie tells the story of how singing brought comfort and connection to a child who was distressed and how singing and music can bring all of us, whatever our age, a feeling of belonging to others.

A Teacher's Reflections 
Singing is so important.. It opens our hearts, and we so often fail to see it is vibration and lifts our spirits.. you are one remarkable lady by the way Jennie.. xx
You describe it so well, Sue. Many thanks for your kind words!
You are most welcome Jennie… And I so admire what you do with your little students. 🙂

Lovely post, Jennie. Singing is an amazing and powerful way to express emotions, heal our hurts, and make connections with others. You’re an amazing teacher. ❤
Well said, Diana. And, thank you for your kind words. ❤️
I left a comment on Sally’s blog, Jennie. As always, a delightful tale.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete.
Singing is a therapy with no cost! It is so amazing within a classroom! I have Friday Karaoke with my nursery class!!! It’s fun, and builds confidence too!
I like how you said that, Ritu, therapy with no cost. I’d love to be in your classroom on Fridays. 😀
I’d love to have you there Jennie! What a Friday, singing with me and a story by you! 😀
YES!!! 😀
Oh for that to happen one day!!!
👍🎉👏
I think it’s marvelous that you do that, Jennie. There is such power in singing, in music. It communicates far more than the words or notes. Even my cat likes to be sung to. Have a thriving Thursday!
Thanks, Teagan!
