Alison that was WONDERFUL! A million thanks!
After I posted I went right to work teaching the older kids, but I checked the 'cat again as the first graders were lined up outside the door; pressed "print" and away I went.
It's not a song I expect them to be able to sing by heart, but they loved the story. I confess I changed "cruiskeen" to "bottle"!
I then told them how I got the words to the song and where you are and they wanted to know: What time was it when you answered, and what's the weather like?
