Is it just me or do you think that Jack Hartmann, Heidi Butkus, Dr. Jean and others are classroom celebrities? It's kind of like household names, but more like a Kindergarten classroom celebrity kind of thing. :) My husband laughs at me all the time because I talk about Jack and Heidi like I really know them. (See how we're on a first name basis now? They don't even know!) 

Yesterday, I was contacted by THE Jack Hartmann and he asked if I would like to share a discount code with my readers. You better believe that the only thing better than having Jack Hartmann in my classroom is sharing him with all of you so he can be in your classrooms, too!!! :) I didn't get to go to I Teach K! in Vegas, but I guarantee he most likely had you out of your seats dancing and singing. Am I right?

I have 3 DVD's and 9 CD's, so I promise that I wouldn't tell you how great his music is for kiddos if I didn't truly believe in it myself. Last year, my kids were in love with his Learning Rocks Volume 1: Math Skills DVD. The Penguin Song was a huge hit!


I had a special ed. aide in my classroom last year and she and I both loved the Five Little Fish song. :) It's so catchy and upbeat! We always laughed every time we sang it because we probably sounded like idiots and looked even worse because we got a little carried away with the 'whoops' part! The kids didn't seem to mind though and neither did we!

Just so you know, I am not getting reimbursed to write this post. I just truly believe in the quality and value of Jack Hartmann's music in the classroom and I hope you do, too!
