Hello Mrs. MacLeod's children,

Here are (4) Canadian Folk Songs that I know you will enjoy. Folk Songs tell stories about "people" or "folk". Folk Songs help us to understand the history of our countries - our people, our languages, our customs, our traditions, our land. Folk Songs hold our history in music and we can learn so much by listening to the stories in each song. The Canadian Folk Songs I have included each tell a story. I wonder which song will be your favorite?

If you like, let me know which one is your favorite and then tell me why it is your favorite. You can even include a picture. I would love to hear from you!!

Love,

Miss D.
