Please let Mrs. Nelson know if you will not be attending so I can arrange the parts. Dress in 50’s style if possible, which is blue jeans and white t-shirts for boys, white tops and (either) poodle skirts or capri pants for girls. Otherwise, anything nice will work well for their great program at Taylor Elementary! Call or email me with questions at 261-1363 or suzan.nelson@d51schools.org Vest and Poodle Skirt-Making Event http://doodle.com/nrmudhm2vq9q97rm Please see (type the link in to your computer browser bar) or click on the link above if you and your child are interested in learning how to make a Cub Scout boy’s red felt “brag” vest or a girl’s colored felt poodle skirt. Each student must be accompanied by one adult. Each student must supply their own fabric, and bring fabric scissors if possible. This is an event that is closed to siblings, because of the complexity of sewing. This is purely an optional event! I thought it might be fun for us to sew skirts for the program! Cupcake treats after the program for all students who attend!!!!! THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER (Audience and students) Oh, say can you see, By the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed At the twilight’s last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched Were so gallantly streaming? **And the rockets red glare, The bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there, Oh, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave— O’er the land of the free And the home of the brave? FUNGA ALAFIA!!! A. FunGa Alafia, ashe, ashe FunGa Alafia, ashe, ashe (Repeat) B. Ashe, ashe, ashe, ashe. Ashe, ashe, ashe, ashe. With my brains (words, heart), I welcome you.

PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAP! Chorus 1: Put on your thinking cap. Put your brain in motion. Throw out your limits and focus on devotion. Put your energy and attention into matters of invention. Put out the effort and think of something new. “Bridge”: Innovation. Invention. Creation. Exploration. (Repeat) Chorus 2: Wake up your sleepy brain. Time to find a new gear. Throw out those habits that bog you down in your fear. Put your attitude on intention, let it lead you to invention. Put on your thinking cap, think of something new. (Ending: Think of something new!) SPOKEN: Ev’rything we know had to come from somewhere, Someone had to think it up somewhere along the way. Someone had to stretch, had to reach, had to push the limits And the bound’ries of the world in their day. Just because something isn’t here now doesn’t mean It can’t be, won’t be, couldn’t be. Think it up, dream it up, make it up, bring it on. Fill your page of human history! Repeat ALL up to SPOKEN PART. MAKE NEW FRIENDS 1. Make new friends, but keep the old, One is silver, and the other gold. 2. A circle is round, it has no end, That’s how long I’m going to be your friend. 3.

The Preamble We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Mr. Frog Went A-Courtin’ Frog went a-courtin’, he did ride, Sword and pistol by his side. When upon his high horse set, His boots they shone as black as jet. He rode right up to mouse’s hall, Where he most tenderly did call: “Oh, Mistress Mouse, are you within?” “Yes, kind frog, I sit to spin.” He took Miss Mousie on his knee, “Pray, Miss Mouse, will you marry me?” “Without my Uncle Rat’s consent, I would not marry the president!” Then Uncle Rat he soon comes home. “Who’s been here since I’ve been gone?” “A pretty little dandyman,” says she, “Who swears he wants to marry me.” “Where will the wedding breakfast be?” “Way down yonder in a hollow tree.” “What will the wedding breakfast be?” “Three green beans and a black-eyed pea.” “Who will make the wedding gown?” “Old Miss Rat from Pumpkin Town.” Then Uncle Rat gave his consent, And that’s the way the marriage went. The first to come in was a little white moth, To spread on the tablecloth. Next to come in was a big black bug, On his back was a cider jug. Next to come in was Mister Coon, Waving about a silver spoon. Next to come in was a spotted snake, Passing ‘round the wedding cake. Next to come in was a bumblebee, A banjo buckled on his knee. Next to come in was a nimble flea, To dance a jig for the bumblebee. Next to come in was the old gray goose, She picked up her fiddle and she cut loose! Next to come in were two little ants, Fixin’ ‘round to have a dance. Next to come in was a little ol’ fly, He ate up all the wedding pie. Next to come in was a little chick, He ate so much it made him sick. The last to come in was a the old tom cat. He says: “I’ll put a stop to that!” The frog and the mouse they went to France, And this is the end of my romance. Frog’s bridle and saddle are laid on the shelf. If you want anymore, you must sing it yourself! L-O-L-L-I-P-O-P L, O, double L, I, P, O, P spells Lollipop, lollipop. It’s the only decent kind of candy, candy, The guy who made it Must have been a dandy, dandy. L, O, double L, I, P, O, P you see. It’s a lick on a stick, Guaranteed to make you sick. It’s a lollipop, for me! Yum! C, A, S, T, O, R O, I, L spells castor oil, castor oil. It’s the only decent kind of Medicine, medicine, The guy who made it Must have been an Edison, Edison! C, A, S, T, O, R O, I, L you see, It’s a sip, from a spoon, Guaranteed to cure you soon, It’s castor oil, for me! Yuck!
