A Musical Celebration of Veteran's Day

Music has the power to evoke powerful emotions.  This week we used music to express our pride in our veterans and in our country.  During the last two weeks, students sang patriotic songs like God Bless America, Yankee Doodle Dandy, You're a Grand Old Flag and God Bless the U.S.A.  Students were introduced to "Thankful for the U.S.A." and one of my favorite songs about America, "American Tears".  We discussed the important jobs our service men and women do every day and students had an opportunity to share stories about members of their families that have served in the military.

You can listen and download some of the songs we've worked on in class at the following links:
