Subject: Educator needs help!!
Hello from Kitchener, Ontario Canada! I am writing in the hope that someone can help me. I am a programme consultant for science and technology and music, who is writing an integrated programme for grade 1 teachers to use. The section I am working on has to do with teaching children about the body - inside and out. I am eager to find the words to what I believe may be an old Negro song, called "Dem Bones", where the verse(s) take you through the bones in the body - e.g., "the knee bone's connected to the thigh bone", etc. I have searched and searched and cannot find the title or the words, beyond what I can remember myself!! If anyone is reading this and can provide me with any help, or a place where I might look, I would be very appreciative! Thanks! Jill Snider
