    feathery chickens that run wildly about, and the pink pigs that roll in the mud. We may also sing about that nice farmer, Old McDonald, and all of his nice animals. The truth is that Old McDonald with a straw hat has been replaced by a business man in the hard hat. Ninety-five percent of the meat we eat does not come from Old McDonald's farm. Hens, chickens, turkeys, and over half of beef cattle, dairy cows, and pigs come from an “animal factory" which is a mechanized environment. This new farming method finds blue skies, tall silos, and grassy hillsides good for calendars but, bad for business. Those pictures are not cost effective. Animals are not treated with the loving care of a farmer but, are treated like inmates on death row.…

    I did not realize that the children would be able to sing whole songs and did not think they would have them memorized. I also did not think that they would be so active and involved in the dancing and movement songs. Once I actually observed the preschoolers, I found very quickly that the older ones knew exactly what they were doing. If the teacher sung to them, a lot of them were willing to sing back in their singing voice. The older toddlers surprised me, too. Some of them sang and some of them did not. They did not always get the movements that went along with the songs, but a lot of them tried and some of them were successful. The older toddlers were able to get sol mi patterns sometimes. I did not think that some of them would be willing to…

    The oldest children's songs of which we have records are lullabies, intended to help a child sleep. Lullabies can be found in every human culture.[2] The English term lullaby is thought to come from "lu, lu" or "la la" sound made by mothers or nurses to calm children, and "by by" or "bye bye", either another lulling sound, or a term for good night.[3] Until the modern era lullabies were usually only recorded incidentally in written sources. The Roman nurses' lullaby, "Lalla, Lalla, Lalla, aut dormi, aut lacta", is recorded in a scholium on Persius and may be the oldest to survive.[4]…

    I found out that with a simple poem I could teach many literacy skills including left to right, one-to-one matching of words said to words in print, and a few sight words. I also was able to focus on the teaching of beginning letter sounds. I really think the students now have a basic understanding that the “bl” sound makes the sounds you hear at the beginning of the word “blanket.”…
