Here is the second part of The Thanksgiving Story. Enjoy the antiphonal singing between you and your students!
Farmer
Joe walked closer to the flock of birds eating corn in the field. They stopped singing and there was a hush.
(Can you say "hush"?)
One
of the blackbirds looked up at Farmer Joe and said, “Caw, caw!” (Can you say
“Caw, caw!”?)
Farmer
Joe said, “Hello there, I walked over here because I thought I heard you
singing.”
The
blackbird fluttered his wings a little bit. (Can you flutter your wings a
little bit? Children/students gently flutter their arms) Then the blackbird went
back to eating the corn.
Since
the singing had stopped and Farmer Joe was hungry for his dinner, he walked
toward his house.
Suddenly,
he heard the music again. (Use the same musical pitches to sing “We Are Grateful”) (Ask your children/students, "Can you quietly sing "We Are Grateful?")
Could
blackbirds really sing? Farmer Joe will
never know.
