I'm a fourth grade teacher, and the kids really like the Kidz Bop cds because they are familiar pop songs, but are sung by kids and are "kid friendly."  They are a little annoying, but the kids like them!  Here's a link to that site:

I also just like to sing the classics with them -- Old McDonald, Bingo, The Farmer in the Dell, etc.... without any music.  It's silly, but they love it, love to hear you sing with them, and creates a sense of camaraderie and togetherness.
