- "98.8" by Justin Roberts a feeble attempt to stay home from school
- "Snow Day" also by Justin Roberts fever-free, but still hopeful
- "We're Going to Be Friends" by Jack Johnson made it to school, happy to see everyone
- "Alphabet of Nations" by They Might be Giants literacy + geography
- "Knocktopus" by Recess Monkey for the class clown in all of us
- "Tie Your Shoe" by Justin Roberts mastering this feat is cause for celebration
- "Seven" by They Might be Giants the lass's most-requested song of the moment, and a fun commentary on those of our species who are this age
- "The Sharing Song" by Jack Johnson a necessary skill
- "West Indian Counting Song" by Dan Zanes & Friends Sometimes I sing this one to facilitate a transition in activities.
- "Number Two" by They Might be Giants They're channeling Sir Elton John here, I think.
- "We Go Duck" by Justin Roberts as in Duck, Duck, Goose
- "Go Down Emmanuel Road" by Dan Zanes & Friends fans of Sesame Street have probably seen this a time or two or three
- "Q U" by They Might be Giants groovy goodness
- "Picture Day" by Justin Roberts I almost always wanted retakes.
- "Meet the Elements" by They Might be Giants never too early to start learning scientific principles ...
- "Cells" by They Might be Giants Whoever heard of introducing the concept of DNA to the preschool population?
- "Science Fair" by Recess Monkey I always cringed at the thought of cooking up an experiment. This is so not my scene.
- "The Bloodmobile" by They Might be Giants Physiology terminology set to music = retention. This tune is along the lines of those commercials for St. Joseph's aspirin from a few years ago. As an aside, did you know my mother and I had the same high school chemistry/human anatomy teacher? The charms of small town life...
- "Constellation Conga" by Recess Monkey my new favorite. Astronomy: why not?
- "How Many Planets?" by They Might be Giants My bambini can all name "JOOOOO-pi-ter" on a rendering of the solar system thanks to this ditty.
- "Fire Drill" by Justin Roberts a welcome interruption
- Why Does the Sun Shine? by They Might be Giants jammin', if maybe not quite right, come to find out ...
- "Why Does the Sun Really Shine?" by They Might be Giants swanky. less jammin' than its predecessor, but apparently more accurate. Go figure.
- "Ice Pack" by Recess Monkey After all that science, it's time for recess. Sometimes accidents happen.
- "Billy the Bully" by Justin Roberts Might does not equal right.
- Sack Lunch by Recess Monkey The elder lad and his kindergartner buddies have recess *before* lunch, so that they'll actually eat instead of running out to play after a bite or two; This tune goes hand in hand with next on this list.
- "Big Field Trip" by Justin Roberts I've queued this one for many a field trip of our own.
- "E Eats Everything" by They Might be Giants Both the lads dig this one. In the video version, Z becomes a Pac-Man-esque creature. Need I elaborate?
- "Not Naptime" by Justin Roberts This is genius in musical form, clearly written by someone who's been there and done that; Justin Roberts is a former preschool teacher.
- "Do-Re-Mi" by Harry Connick, Jr. music ed
- "Gym Class Parachute" by Justin Roberts gym class. not my scene.
- Pollito Chicken by Dan Zanes & Friends Spanish lessons
- "Little White Square" by Popple This is a theoretical Catholic school playlist; fostering vocations begins at an early age.

- "Giant-Sized Butterflies" by Justin Roberts start-of-school jitters; brings me to tears thinking back to the elder lad starting preschool ...
