The Deke did something with her 4th and 5th graders that I haven't done yet with my college students: she led them in a cricket chirping verson of "The Blue Danube Waltz".

I'll bet the college students would enjoy giving it a whirl. . .
Commenting because I'm always dismayed when people prowl silently around my blog, tentatively because I'm no writer. I just wanted to say that I wish I could find a teacher like you to guide me in my efforts to sound less like a scientist and more like a human:)
