5. We could've had a second try at making a decent fake campfire.
4. The kids actually learned new vocabulary from song lyrics.
3. Songs teach rhythm, tone, pitch, and pattern: all literary elements, too!
2. Listening, speaking, reading, producing dramatic representation, and knowledge of state symbols are all state mandated objectives.
1. For all of us, school was REALLY fun for two days.
