Mining Songs by Caroline

There have been many things going on during social studies. We have lately been doing a lot of fun projects. I am going to tell you about one of them. It's called mining songs.

So first, we picked a tune to go along with our song. For example, my group picked Fancy. Next, Mrs. Mills (our teacher) gave us a text all about the miners and their lives and our group read the text together. After that, the groups made up a song that had words that matched what the text said so the song told about the miners and their life. Finally, we rehearsed our songs until they felt comfortable. The last step was to add a little actions to the song and show them to the class.

 

Sing the Song from Home on the Range by Quinn

While we visited the Midwest region in social studies, we learned about cowboys. We did the song to show how it was back in the cowboy days. We did it to the tune of Home on the Range. The cowboys back in the day herded cows. In the song we included what the cowboys see, hear, smell, and feel. It was a lot of fun!(To me)!

The videos below were taken by Quinn during some of the class performances of their songs about being a cowboy to the tune of "Home on the Range."
