The Sound of Sharing
Ever notice how the simple act of sharing – especially if you’re sharing something great and wonderful – makes you feel, well, pretty great and wonderful?
This is the kind of sharing that happens every single day at QuaverEd — not just inside the classroom, but outside as well.
In fact, step into the QuaverEd curricula and you’ll hear it for yourself. Yes, indeed: Sharing has an actual sound!
Inside the Classroom
At QuaverReady, the sound of sharing lives within the sound of music.
Listen closely and you’ll hear something else, too: The sound of kindness and compassion. The sound of social and emotional learning. The sound of love.
“I Care,” QuaverReady’s beautiful new song about kindness, lets students reflect on the people they care about, like family, friends, and teachers. Click here to listen to the sound of kindness:
By creating and sharing songs, lessons, discussion points, and fun-to-learn printables, QuaverReady helps educators – teachers and counselors alike – ensure the social and emotional development of their students.
The Beauty of Bilingualism
Big News! The sound of sharing can also be heard between cultures!
You can now find Spanish-language versions of all of the songs in QuaverReady!
The search is simple: You’ll find these Spanish-language songs in Lessons, Songs, Resource Manager, and New Content.
Click on the song below, “El Compartir” (“I Can Share with You”), and listen to a song about – you guessed it! – the joy of sharing!
All of the animations are now offered in Spanish, too:

Outside the Classroom
More big news! The sound of sharing can be heard outside the classroom, too!
Listen! Can you hear it? It’s the sound of professional learning!
