Something fun for ALL grade levels:
Something really special about music is that it can bring you joy - especially in hard times. I thought it would be fun to create a *School Playlist* of songs that are "uplifting" - songs that inspire happiness and hope!
1. First, check out one of my favorite uplifting songs below as an example: "Don't Give Up On Me" by Andy Grammer. This is one of my very favorite songs and I love that he added a choir for this video! (Click on the youtube link at the bottom to listen).
2. Find one song that makes you feel happy or brings you joy. Write down the title and artist (the artist is the person performing the song). Listen to your song and write (in a few sentences) about why you think this song could bring others happiness and hope.
3. Interview an adult! (either someone in your house or on the phone) about one song that makes them happy! Ask them for the title, artist, and ask why they find the song uplifting. Listen to their song and write about why it makes them happy and what you find uplifting about it too.
4. Write both song titles, artists, and your short reflections. Have your parents email them to me (allie.thames@kellerisd.net). By the end of the week, I hope to create a YouTube playlist for Independence with all of our uplifting songs so that we can all enjoy them!
