TXBeth Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Anyone have some good ones to share? Song format would be even better. This is what I have come up with so far... (long verses are to traditional ABC tune, short verses are to Alpha-pig's ABC tune). DD loves it; I'm not satisfied with it. It doesn't have to be quality literature, but something better than this... Long ago, some Asian folk Crossed the Bering Strait without a boat, Spread throughout two continents – We call them Native Americans. Leif the Lucky Viking left his clan, Found a new place in Newfoundland. In 14 hundred ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Landed in North America, Thought he was in India…India. Jamestown was the first colony, In Virginia, named for the virgin queen. John Smith helped the people survive, Pocahontas saved his life…saved his life. In 1620 the pilgrims came The Mayflower was their ship’s name. They left their home to worship God, Started over at Cape Cod. Squanto helped them keep on living To celebrate the First Thanksgiving. Any suggestions? Someplace I could get ready-made sentences or a song/poem for all of U.S. history? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXBeth Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Shameless bump. Anyone? Besides the fact that this song is annoying me, I really don't want to have to keep making up new verses for the rest of the year. Surely someone has done all this before?

Staceyshoe Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 We are doing American History this year and will use both Classical Conversations cycle 3 history songs and the History Songs from audio memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeganW Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I bought something called "Ballads of American History". Haven't used it yet, as it starts with Roanoke and Jamestown. http://www.singnlearn.org/khxc/index.php?app=ccp0&ns=prodshow&ref=115 Another idea might be the Classical Conversations Cycle 3 audio CD.
