(New) Folk song - Three Little Owls

-


While looking for some owl folk songs to sing with my music and nature group, I fell in love with this old song! I first read about it on Mama Lisa's website here. After transcribing it myself from the YouTube video, I found the wonderful Danny Rosevar had already transcribed and recorded it for all of us here! She has an amazing folk song channel and is such a generous person! I encourage you to follow her videos!

In the mean time, you can click my sheet music to download and use if you prefer!  I've included the solfa at the top of the melody!

Wise Old Owl (echo song)

One of these days
I look up and see
A wise old owl
Sittin in a tree

He'll look at you
And he'll look at me
Those two big eyes
They don't scare me

One of these nights
When raindrops fall
He'll give a hoot
He'll give a call

Folk Dance

Community dancing is such a wonderful activity for all ages!  I have seen the question pop up in many homeschool groups about suggestions for resources to teach folk dances so I want to share some of my favorites from teaching music and dance to elementary students in public school and our homeschool groups!  If you have the opportunity to find a group already in place to attend and learn dances and observe how they teach you will have a better understanding of how to approach this in a group setting!  You may feel like at the beginning like you are herding a bunch of cats but that's ok!!!  Practice and consistency will improve the process! Cited Material First, I want to just say how blessed I am that I have been fortunate to have training under the most talented folk dance and movement specialists.  I feel like my education and experience has been in the "golden" age through first hand workshops by the following professionals.   New England Dancing Mast

Christmas Around the World - December Term

  Our family enjoys a "December Term" each year. I've also heard homeschooler refer to this time as "Christmas School!" Basically, we hold off on our regular curriculum studies and spend a quiet and peaceful month at home with poetry, music, literature, and activities that bring us into a spirit of Christmas!  You can find a post about our first December Term in 2018 here! While looking through the website archive.org (my favorite public domain library!) I found adorable Christmas stories published by Dana Estes & Co. out of Boston in the early 1900s. I read each story in the collection and knew they would be perfect for our December Term so I spent the weekend writing lesson plans with links and ideas to make the most out of a cultural holiday experience! The age range for these stories is 6-12 years old. In Christmas in Austria , the children in the story include an 11 year old boy and a 9 year old girl! That's exactly the ages of my children in Decemb
