A LITTLE HISTORY: The Flag's Beginnings
The Star-Spangled Banner's history starts not with Francis Scott Key, but a year earlier with Maj. George Armistead, the commander of Fort McHenry. Knowing that his fort was a likely British target, Armistead told the commander of Baltimore defenses in July 1813 that he needed a flag—a big one. "We, sir, are ready at Fort McHenry to defend Baltimore against invading by the enemy…except that we have no suitable ensign to display over the Star Fort, and it is my desire to have a flag so large that the British will have no difficulty in seeing it from a distance."
Armistead soon hired a 29-year-old widow and professional flagmaker, Mary Young Pickersgill of Baltimore, Maryland, to make a garrison flag measuring 30 by 42 feet with 15 stars and 15 stripes (each star and stripe representing a state). A large flag, but one not unusual for the time. Over the next six weeks, Mary, her daughter, three of Mary's nieces, a 13-year-old indentured servant and possibly Mary's mother Rebecca Young worked 10-hour days sewing the flag, using 300 yards of English wool bunting. They made the stars, each measuring two feet in diameter, from cotton—a luxury item at the time. Initially they worked from Mary's home (now a private museum known as the Flag House), but as their work progressed they needed more room and had to move to Claggett's brewery across the street. On August 19, 1813, the flag was delivered to Fort McHenry.
Repairing the flag to preserve (1914)-
When the flag arrived at the Smithsonian it was smaller (30 by 34 feet), damaged from years of use at the fort and from pieces being removed as souvenirs. Recognizing its need for repair, the Smithsonian hired Amelia Fowler, an embroidery teacher and well-known flag preserver, in 1914 to replace the canvas backing that had been added in 1873.
SECOND GRADE MUSIC- VIRTUAL LESSON THIRTEEN-
Explore another important patriotic song:
America (My Country 'Tis of Thee): 1831
The words for the song “America” (My Country ‘Tis of Thee) were written by Samuel Francis Smith in 1831, but the melody is much older and has been used for songs in many countries. It was first sung in public on July 4, 1831, at a children's concert at the Park Street Church, Boston, and published in 1832.
My country, 'tis of Thee,
Sweet Land of Liberty
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountain side
Let Freedom ring.
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
Our fathers' God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright,
With freedom's holy light,
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King.
The song uses the same melody as that of the British national anthem, “God Save The Queen.”

SECOND GRADE MUSIC- VIRTUAL LESSON FIVE- CELEBRATE JAZZ MONTH!
GUESS WHAT?! Did you know that April is National JAZZ Month?
Last year during April, we read Freddie the Frog and the Jazz Kitten!
In that story, we learned about SCAT singing and IMPROVISATION!
Scat singing is when singers sing syllables that are made up on the spot, and are NOT actual words!
They try to make their voices and sounds imitate jazz instruments!
Improvisation (or Improv.) is when instrument players or singers make up music as they go, it is not written out for them!
Check out this AWESOME book/video of the book THE JAZZ FLY!
Listen for the instruments you hear in the recording!
*What types of instruments do you think are popular in jazz music?
*Do you hear any SCAT singing in this video?
*After the book is done, click on the jazz for kids video link below, and MOVE to the jazz music!
*Find things around your house to create a jazz drum set!
*Can YOU come up with some fun SCAT syllables?
(The book starts about one minute into the video, so skip forward if you'd like!)

How is it different? How is it the same?
Which instruments do you hear playing along?
Does this one make you want to get up and dance along? Then you SHOULD! DANCE!
SECOND GRADE MUSIC- VIRTUAL LESSON SEVEN/EIGHT- Exploring Pioneer songs!
Pioneer Songs / Folk Songs
In January and February, we began learning some early American folk songs and folk dance moves.
We discussed how folk songs are started, what they are often about, and how they are passed on generation to generation.
We also discussed how kids your age would gather together and sing, dance, and play group games as a social activity with other families from their small communities.
Some early American folk songs with dances you may remember us learning together include:
Old Dan Tucker, Lil' Liza Jane, and Alabama Gal!
You are currently learning about some of early pioneers to America,
so we'll learn a handful of new songs to go along with your social studies!
One of the most famous early American folk songs of all time, Oh Susanna, was written by an American composer named Stephen Foster, in 1848. Several sources say that Foster used melodies and phrases that were influenced by a combination of other folk songs from the early 1800's. Much like the folk song Old Dan Tucker, this song has silly lyrics, added for entertainment value. You could very easily add any of the folk dance moves we have learned to this song. While listening to the audio clip, watch the sheet music sample below and find the following elements:
WATCH FOR:
Where is the Time Signature, what is it?
What is the Form? (HINT: verse/refrain!)
How may barlines are there?
Where is the double barline?
Can you spot examples of the following types of notes in the music?
Quarter note
Half note
Dotted half note
Whole note
Eighth note
Eight note pair
Quarter rest
SING-ALONG! Lyrics Video!
Another famous American folk song, Buffalo Gal, was first published in the early 1800's, but was likely sung prior to that under other titles. Much like other folk songs, the song is written in verse/refrain form, and is very catchy so you can easily sing along as you dance. Many fiddlers from the early 1800's would add improvised solos during the song as groups would dance along.
*Listen to the three versions below, and think about how they are different. Do they have the same tempo (speed)? Which instruments do you hear in each? Does this song remind you of other folk songs we have learned?
After you've listened, add some of our folk dance steps, they will ALL work with this song!
BUFFALO GAL:
Refrain:
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
Come out tonight, come out tonight
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon
verses:
As I was walking down the street
Down the street, down the street
A pretty little gal I chanced to meet
Oh, she was fair to view
She was the prettiest gal I’ve seen in my life
In my life, in my life
And I wished to the Lord she’d be my wife
Then we would part no more
Oh, yes, dear boy, I'm coming out tonight
Coming out tonight, coming out tonight
Oh, yes, dear boy, I’m coming out tonight
And we’ll dance by the light of the moon
I danced with that gal with a hole in her stocking
And her heel kept a-rockin' and her toe kept a-knockin'
I danced with that gal with a hole in her stocking
And we danced by the light of the moon
Allison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves! Check out the fiddle and banjo skills these ladies have!
Buffalo Gal recorded by American Folk Singer, Pete Seeger
Weevily Wheat:
Song History:
This Appalachian folk song and dance is known by several names. This version is called “Weevily Wheat” because it speaks of taking wheat to the miller to be ground into flour, because they worried the wheat might be infested with the beetles known as weevils. The song is also known as “Over the River, Charlie” or simply “Charlie” because of its many references to Scotland’s Bonnie Prince Charlie.
Many of the Scots, Irish, and English who had gone to Northern Ireland to find better lands migrated to America. The Lowland Scots who migrated to Ireland and to the colonies were later called the ScotsIrish or Scotch-Irish. Many arrived in the 1840s, when the potato famine forced them to leave their homelands. The Scots-Irish brought to America with them their ways, their tales, and their dances and stories. Lowland Scots and Highland Scots were different, but they shared the common history. They were adaptable and inventive, creating what they needed to live, whether that be something carved from wood, hammered on the blacksmith’s anvil, or grown on the steep blue hillsides of this new country. They entertained themselves with the old songs, stories, and singing games that tell the tales of historic connections between this new country and the lords, ladies, servants, kings, queens, giants, and princes of the Old World from which they came.
*This song also has a fun circle dance that goes along with it, be sure to check the dance video below to learn and try the dance at home with your family or stuffed animals!
Weevily Wheat:
*As you listen to this version, watch the music above! See if you can hear some lyrics in this video that are not printed above, extra bonus: you're learning math facts! Woo hoo!
Weevily Wheat Dance/Game Instructions
No pioneers wanted weevils in their wheat! Weevils are small beetles that destroy crops, ick!
This play-party game was popular among pioneer children.
You could try this game/dance at home with your family!
Weevily Wheat for Choir:
This is a really fun version of the song made for a 2-part choir to sing! Take a listen! If you notice, they have the music posted as the song goes along. Although you have not seen music like this yet, I bet some of you can figure out how a group might read this music! Enjoy!
SECOND GRADE MUSIC- VIRTUAL LESSON NINE- Exploring Pioneer songs, continued!
EARLY AMERICAN RAILROAD SONGS!
As the pioneers moved west, many people were employed to help build and lay the tracks for the new railroad system. Keeping the tracks moving westward, helped to transport goods for the Westward Expansion. You've likely heard this song before, and now can understand why it was sung! Remember, many folk songs were often sung not only to entertain, but often to make the days or work pass by easier and more quickly!
* The next time you are cleaning your room or helping your family with chores, put some music on, it makes the job easier and more fun to do!
WATCH FOR:
Where is the Time Signature, what is it?
What is the Form? (HINT: verse/refrain!)
How may barlines are there?
Where is the double barline?
Can you spot examples of the following types of notes in the music?
Quarter note
Half note
Whole note
Eighth note
Triplet
Sing-Along Video with Lyrics:

SECOND GRADE MUSIC- VIRTUAL LESSON TEN & ELEVEN- Celebrating CINCO DE MAYO!
May 5th is Cinco de Mayo!
One of the most famous types of Mexican folk music is Mariachi! Take a listen!
Do you recognize any of these instruments? What do you enjoy most about this video?
Mrs. B loves all of this, but really enjoys when the men are singing all together creating HARMONY!
Let's continue to celebrate by singing or listening to a children's folk song
and circle passing game from Mexico!
You can play this game at home with another family member or friend!
*First, listen to the song video. Some of you may be able to sing along in Spanish, and some of you may want to just listen and keep the beat in your lap, or with a homemade maraca!
*Next, once you've listened and watched, read the game instructions, and find some little items from around your house that you can pass to the beat!
(rocks, legos, spoons, etc, something that will "clack" on the floor)
Watch the second video clip to see the song and game in action.
Once you are ready to play the game, play the first video in the background to see if you can speed up the beat as you go!
The song gets faster, and faster!! Remember the term for that? ACCELERANDO!
Acitrón de un Fandango!
Acitrón de un fandango,
Zango, zango, sabaré,
Sabaré que va pasando*,
Con su triqui, triqui, tran.
Por la calle voy pasando,
Por la vía pasa el tren,
Acitrón de un fandango,
Zango, zango, sabaré.
Translated, the song is about :
A party full of lemon candy (Acitron) but there is a lot of pudding (Sobarare); A LOT and they don't want it, so they put the pudding on the clicky clacky train (triqui triqui tren) as it passes by. The passing of the objects in the game is the train, as we click clack the items on the floor!
Here's a general idea of the meaning:
Acitrón = Candied Lemon, Lemon Candy - Lemon rinds dried and made into candied lemon.
Fandango = Dance Fandango, a lively Spanish dance.
Zango = "SANGO" = yucca and maize pudding
Sabare' ="SOBRARE"= the left overs or spare
pasando = to pass
triqui/ Trique = Loud, sharp noise like a train clacking on the tracks
tran "tren" = Train
"Acitrón de un fandango"
A Candied Lemon Dance
"sango, sango, sobrare"
lot's of maize pudding left over
"Sobrare que va pasando"
lot's of it passes by
Con su triqui, triqui, tren"
on a noisy train
To sum it up: there's a party full of lemon candy and a lot of pudding. They'd rather just eat the candy, and the people pass the pudding by, so there's a lot left over and they put it on the noisy trains that pass by.
The children sit in a circle on the floor, each one has in front of him a stone, a wooden stick, or any kind of object that can make a noise when beaten on the floor. As they sing, they pass their objects to the child on their right. When they come to the line, "con su triqui, triqui, tran" they beat the object in front of their friend on the right, then beat it again in front of themselves, and only on the third pass do they drop it in front of the friend.
LET'S MAKE A HOMEMADE MARACA!!!
2 plastic cups or yogurt containers — the same size — clean and dry
1/2 cup of coffee beans or dried peas or macaroni, rice or beads.
Masking tape
Put the beans or peas into one of the cups or containers
Wrap masking tape around the rims to connect the containers together.
Paint the shaker with bright colors and glue on fabric pieces too if you wish!
Easter Egg Maracas
Or, if you still have some plastic Easter eggs sitting around, here's another type you can make with a handle!
Rice
Plastic spoons
Painter’s tape or colorful washi tape
Easter eggs
Pour rice into an empty plastic egg and close the egg.
Tape around the seam of the egg.
Place the egg between the heads of two plastic spoons, and wrap tape around it to hold the spoons in place.
Tape the handles of the two spoons to hold them together.
Shake your homemade maraca!
Let's DANCE!
Continue our fiesta with the Mexican Hat Dance!
Watch the sample video below, see if you can figure out the movements,
then find a partner from your family, or stuffed animal,

Stone Soup Song- for Mrs. Butler's class play
Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to fetch her poor dog a bone
But when she got there the cupboard was bare. She said, “It’s time to make soup from a stone.”
So she went out back ‘n’ found three round rocks and scrubbed ‘em good and clean
She filled a pot of water and put it on the fire and dropped those rocks right in
Stone soup Stone soup! Soup from a stone Soup from a stone!
We’ll stir it up together and serve it up hot
If we each bring a little we’ll all have a lot
Stone soup Stone soup! Soup from a stone Soup from a stone!
Come on everybody make yourselves at home
Jack and Jill tumbled down the hill to see what was going on
”Herbs & spice would be quite nice to bring out the taste of the stone.”
Jack came back with pepper and salt. Jill brought parsley and thyme
Little Boy Blue brought savoury, too. And the soup started smelling fine
Stone soup Stone soup! Soup from a stone Soup from a stone!
We’ll stir it up together and serve it up hot
If we each bring a little we’ll all have a lot
Stone soup Stone soup! Soup from a stone Soup from a stone!
Come on everybody make yourselves at home
Humpty Dumpty jumped from the wall and landed on his feet
He asked Mother Hubbard what he could do. She said “Carrots would make the broth sweet.”
Mary, Mary quite contrary had a nice garden you know
She brought some potatoes, ripe red tomatoes and onions right outta the row
Stone soup Stone soup! Soup from a stone Soup from a stone!
We’ll stir it up together and serve it up hot
If we each bring a little we’ll all have a lot
Stone soup Stone soup! Soup from a stone Soup from a stone!
Come on everybody make yourselves at home
Next thing you know everybody was there dropping veggies into the pot
Garden green beans, garlic and peas and cold, crunchy celery stalks
Hey diddle diddle the cat played the fiddle the cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such soup and everybody grabbed a spoon
Stone soup Stone soup! Soup from a stone Soup from a stone!
We’ll stir it up together and serve it up hot
If we each bring a little we’ll all have a lot
Stone soup Stone soup! Soup from a stone Soup from a stone!
Come on everybody make yourselves at home
The Rain Forest Song (for the 2nd Grade Gorillas Project!)
The Rain Forest Song
Here's a song about a place
That's threatened by the human race
Want to let you know, want to let you know
Tropical rain falls on tropical trees
The tropical rain forest won't you please
Help us save it now, help us save it now
Refrain:
Ooh, it gives us air to breathe
Ooh, the animals call it home
Ooh, its medicines help you and me
Ooh, help us save it before it's gone
They burn and cut it down to farm
But we all know it's doing harm
To the animals, there's no place to go
Monkey's rush from tree to tree
Calling out for their family
Fire's coming now, must escape somehow
To Refrain
All the birds in all the trees
Every insect and every leaf
Is important, too, here's what we must do
Tell everybody that it's not okay
To let the forests just burn away
Got to say it loud, got to say it proud!
To Refrain

El Coqui
SPANISH LYRIC
El coquí, el coquí a mi me encanta.
Esta lindo el cantar del coquí.

Jazzy Jingle Bell Waltz
Joyfully gliding this cold winter day,
Guiding my horse in a snow covered sleigh,
Over the hilltops and valleys we ride
so warm in my woolens with friends by my side.
We’re singing jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse--- open sleigh.
Whatever the weather, we’re singing our songs,
Laughing and caroling all the day long.
Never a worry, the horse knows the way
To carry us home in our snow covered sleigh.
We’re singing jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse--- open sleigh.
Here we come a caroling in a one horse,
one horse, one horse,
Open sleigh!

Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah
Hanukkah, oh hanukkah, come light the Menorah;
Let’s have a party, we’ll all dance the horah!
Gather round the table, we’ll give you a treat;
Sevivon to play with, and latkes to eat.
And while we are playing, the candles of Hanukkah glow.
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago.
Shining so brightly, reminding us nightly
Of wonders of days long ago.
Hanukkah, oh hanukkah, come light the Menorah;
Let’s have a party, we’ll all dance the horah!
Gather round the table, we’ll give you a treat;
Sevivon to play with, and latkes to eat.
And while we are playing, the candles of Hanukkah glow.
Shining so brightly, reminding us nightly
Of wonders of days long ago.
Of wonders of days long ago.

I Hear Those Jingle Bells (2nd Grade)
Dashing through the snow
in a one horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go,
laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring,
making spirits bright,
Oh what fun it is to sing,
a sleighing song tonight!
Oh, Jingle bells, Jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh,
Jingle bells, Jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!
Just the other day I was walking
home from school
and it started to snow!
Oh, it was so fluffy,
I just had to stop and build a snowman,
Then, I heard a jingling, jingling, comin' at me,
it was coming up fast!
LOOK OUT! WHOOSH! SPLAT!
I dove into my snowman's belly.
I hear those jingle bells,
doesn't matter that they're not really here anymore.
I could do without that Jin---gle,
Jingle, Jingle,
I hear those jingle bells,
I wish that they would knock it off for now,
I would gladly have them back again next year!
I would gladly have them back--- again---- next--- year----!
Winter Snowflakes (2nd Grade Xylo improv. song)
Winter snowflakes falling,
falling to the ground,
Winter snowflakes falling,
shimmering all around

Peace Canon (Combo 1st / 2nd Finale)
At Christmas time, the angels sing.
A song filled with love as the bells do ring.
A song of peace and harmony,
A song of peace for you and me.
Dona nobis, pacem, pacem,
Dona nobis, pacem.
Dona nobis, pacem, pacem,
Dona nobis, pacem.
At Christmas time, the angels sing.
A song filled with love as the bells do ring.
A song of peace and harmony,
A song of peace for you and me.
Sleep in heavenly peace.
