Okay, Bye

Another way to bring Disney movie's such as Frozen into the classroom is through the Summer Song sung by Olaf. As Olaf the snowman is created, he loves the idea of summer. However, he does not realize that in summer he will melt. This song and picture can make students think about the different phases of water and how Olaf is effected. Being that Olaf in winter is a snowman, but in summer should turn into a puddle. This can lead students into learning about ice, water, and eventually water vapor and the properties included with each phase.

It Doesn't Have to be a Snowman

Seeing that Disney movies are always in high regards for students, the newest movie is very catchy with all of the songs. One such song is Do You Want to Build a Snowman. Playing Disney songs in the classroom allows teacher's to play music that the kids know and may really like, as well as know that the music is appropriate for school, as Disney creates movies that are appropriate for all ages. I think that music in general is a great help in the classroom for transitions or focus and that Disney songs for example can be used for transitions or anticipatory sets.
