Thanksgiving Songs!

Students in first and second grade have been singing Thanksgiving songs!  We all love The Turkey Woogie.   Second graders also got a kick out of “The Gobble Song”…. a song from a turkey’s point of view!  We also sing a song called “Demos Gracias” which means “give thanks.”  We use sign language in this song as well….. so we are singing in THREE different languages!  English, Spanish, and American Sign Language.   Check out the “lyrics” page of the blog for the words and some of the signs!

Verse vs. Chorus

Students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade used our parachute to show the difference between the “verses” and the “chorus” in one of our favorite Thanksgiving songs, “Mashed Potatoes”!  Everyone loves this lesson, and the parachute gets all the students to really sing out.  Maybe because, as one fifth grader explained the phenomenon, it “the parachute makes us feel jolly!”
