The Respect Song is an original song that was created about 2 years ago. I was playing around on my acoustic guitar after teaching one day, using the same four chords that I always use, and I stumbled across a really catchy melody and chorus. After that, the verse lyrics came pretty easy when thinking about how I want my classroom to function. I took my music recording device into school the next day, taught my students the lyrics, and recorded my 3rd grade class singing along with me.
If you can create a classroom environment with 3 general objectives, your students will be successful and you as the teacher will be stress free. The Respect Song will teach students these three objectives in a fun way that they will remember and that they will be singing over and over again.
- Respect Yourself
- Respect Others
- Respect The School

This is a very inspiring site. I think it would be a great idea to play a character ed song over the school speaker system to help set the tone for the day. Ex., for the month you teach the character trait 'respect" play the song-kids love this sort of thing.
well Gr8 Idea, i have so many people doing activities for character education, like organizing meetings, doing functions, but this song is very inspiring and a very good site you have.
