I went to a four room school, three grades to a room. However, since I was only in one room at a time, I figure I qualify to respond to the music recollections anyway. Aside from the patriotic songs, including "Dixie" (Mississippi School) we had singing periods every day. Some that come to mind immediately Turkey in the Straw, Old Dan Tucker, 16 miles on the Erie Canal, Sleep My Child and Peace Attend Thee All though the night, The Preacher and the Bear, and It Ain't Gonna Rain no More. We did all the traditional christmas carols, as well. Let's see, the fourth grade was known for singing Kuckaburro Up in the Old Gum Tree, Clementine, Blow the Man Down. Second graders were allowed to sing "Had a little Monkey, Sent him too the Country, Fed him on Ginger Bread, Along came a choo-choo, knocked him kookoo, now my little monkey's dead. And we worry about violence in the songs today??? Hope these memories help. Diana
