In 1787, Philadelphia was hot.Independence Hall was stuffy;our Founding Fathers fought.
Debating for days,on what would be bestfor all of our people--north, south, east, and west.
In 1787,the Constitution was signeda democratic systemwith freedom first in mind.
A plan for our countryto protect one and all--the young and the old,the big and the small.
In 1787,our Founding Fathers smiledat a future of freedomfor each American child.

WE NEED TREESby Debbie Griffin and Melanie Needles
We need trees, we need trees, we need trees for the birds and the bees.We need trees, we need trees, we need trees for the air we breathe.
Trees have roots and trees have leaves. They grow out of tiny seeds.We need trees, we need trees…
Trees for wood and paper goods keep our trees strong and good.We need trees, we need trees. . .
Trees for homes and trees for shade and the fruits and nuts they made.We need trees, we need trees. . .
Roots hold the trees in place, so the mud slides won’t take place.We need trees, we need trees we need trees for you and me.

MAKING UP YOUR OWN SONGS• Keep them simple• Create songs out of the natural rhythm of your voice.• Don’t be afraid to shorten and adapt as long as you give
proper credit.• Make up your own tunes to traditional lyrics or rhymes. • Make up lyrics to suit the needs of your students.• Chant, if you don’t like to sing. • Do as much call and response as you can.• Kids don’t care how well you sing. They just love to sing.
