Alright, I have to be honest. Music is my guilty pleasure. I sing all day, I watch music videos, I actually watch LYRIC videos on youtube. The building service workers at my school know me at "the singing one!" Music is my thing. Whenever my classroom gets too quiet, I put music on. (THANK GOODNESS for Kidz Bop because my kids beg me not to play the classical quiet music I like-hahaha!)
A lot of the time we see posts about the best songs to get the kiddos pumped and ready to start the day. This made me think about the adults in the room. In result of that, I took some time to think about what my favorite "Get Ready" jams are. These are songs that I listen to in the morning while I'm showering, putting on makeup, driving to work, and setting up in my room for the day. I GUARANTEE that there is something here for each of you! I am so versatile when it comes to music! I love it all! Also, I feel so lucky to work in a school where my jam sessions are OKAY in the morning before the kiddos get there! So let's get down to it, shall we?
Here are my TOP TEN Morning Jams starting with number 10 and counting down to number 1!
10. End of Time by: Beyonce
Okay, truth. This song made the list simply because of the beat. The lyrics of the song have absolutely nothing to do with it. The beat gets me pumped no matter what time of day!
9. Welcome to the Show by: Britt Nicole
I was at the Dream On Revolve Girls Tour back when I was in high school (LOL I say that like it was so long ago) and the artist Britt Nicole started her mini concert out with this song. When I tell you it got everyone ready for the evening...I mean it! Get beyond the first 7 seconds (it has a circus like entrance), and you'll love it!
8. Why Not by: Hilary Duff
This one is for any 90s babies turned teachers like me. I don't know about you, but the old Disney Channel will always have a special place in my heart. And this song? It's golden! Why not take a chance??
7. Good to Be Alive by: Andy Grammer
My roommate and I love this one! It's all about the journey we go through in life. Things can be rough...but we make it through! Find that one thing that makes you happy! It's one of those windows down and wind blowing in your hair songs! (Maybe listen to this one on the way to school!)
6. Masterpiece by: Jessie J
I first got wind of this show when I was looking at the FB page for one of my favorite shows, Dance Moms. The girls made a short video as a promo using this song. And it just stuck! It has one of the most amazing messages. It's about going after what you want! The base in this song is amazing too!
5. I Love Me by: Megan Trainor ft. Lunch Boy Lewis
This is one of my new favorites! I walk around the house singing it! It's just so catchy!
4. Whistle (While You Work It) by: Katy Tiz
I came across this one through Dance Moms as well. This is for those days that things just have NOT gone your way. Your observation lesson tanked, you forgot your lunch at home, there's an unexpected staff meeting called, the copy machine jammed when you have 1 minute left to get your kids...we all know those days!
3. Don't Rain on My Parade by: Glee
(Yes, I know that's not the original...I just love Lea Michele's voice!) I feel like the title on this one is just self explanatory :))
2. Invincible by: Kelly Clarkson
This is one of me and my roommate's power jams! Kelly has always amazed me with her voice but this song completely resonates with everything that I am. It is so empowering!
ALRIGHT...HERE IT IS! MY NUMBER ONE SONG!!
1. Slay by: Nia Sioux
If you have never heard of this song, my heart is aching for you! So much that I am putting the video to this song here. Another truth..this is by one of the Dance Moms girls! These girls get a lot of people saying hurtful things to and about them. Nia wrote this song to share with the world that EVERYBODY (no matter who you are) can slay! She doesn't mean slay as in slay a dragon...she means slay as in be amazing, do your best, always shining! Nia is a winner in my eyes. I listen to this song multiple times a day.
There you have it folks! Hopefully you found one song on this list that can inspire or empower you! Comment to let me know your other favorites! Before I go, here are some bonus songs that didn't make my list (not because they aren't great...but because I could only pick ten!)
