Good Thinking
by Teresa JenningsThis song helps us remember some key "good" things like manners and habits. But the overall message is that "Thinking well is good thinking." Use this as an opportunity to talk with your students about the impact of good thinking such as decency, kindness, compassion, respect, and other attributes of good character.
The style of the song is energetic and upbeat with a distinctive happy show tune flavor. The instrumental orchestral background on the recording helps to keep it light and positive. The vocal lines are also instrumentally covered to help reinforce young voices. This is especially handy if you are not planning to use the optional part 2. We used two soloists for the beginning section, but this is optional.
The kit includes a rehearsal track for part 2. Since the solos and the second part are optional, we have also created a unison version that does not include either of those things, in case that works better for you. (from Music K-8, Vol. 31, No. 1)
