I used to teach K-3, and I remember my students loved to sing the folk songs I taught them, esp. Erie Canal! Thanks for your thoughts and for what you do. --KateKateCoombshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584944601221466789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144605744535591088.post-27849164264974138962012-08-30T16:08:48.511-07:002012-08-30T16:08:48.511-07:00Dear Kate,

My friend Paul made the instrumental part/sing-along for me and I've sung the poem in classrooms and libraries along with the also beautiful illustration by Meilo So. I've been doing this as an educational/musical enrichment program for children in classrooms and libraries, singing songs that have been made into picture books (everything from "Sunshine on My Shoulders" and "Surrey with the Fringe On Top" to "Amoeba Hop" and a few books I've made myself for educational songs like "Fifty Nifty States"). It's so great for the children to experience live performance and exposure to songs (and poems!) that they might otherwise not have gotten a chance to hear and learn. This project is also great for things like emergent literacy. Thank you for making wonderful poetry and stories for children to read (and sing!) Wishing you all the best, Emily (www.singbookswithemily.wordpress.com)Emily Leatha Everson Gleichenhaushttp://www.singbookswithemily.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144605744535591088.post-61932825625478624212012-06-22T05:26:38.685-07:002012-06-22T05:26:38.685-07:00Thanks, Linda!Thanks, Linda!KateCoombshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584944601221466789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144605744535591088.post-81392563168620349512012-06-22T05:18:44.335-07:002012-06-22T05:18:44.335-07:00Loved the WATER SINGS BLUE song.
