Pictures with Elvis

While at Graceland, I purchased a lifesize cutout of "Jailhouse Rock" Elvis!!  The kids ABSOLUTELY loved it!  Here are a couple of classes that wanted their picture taken with him!

Graceland!

On Saturday I went to Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee!!!  I had a great time.  Here are a few pictures form my day.

I saw this sign when I first arrived and was still in the parking lot!

This is me and my daughters sitting on a bench outside of Elvis' house!


It's a tradition to write your name on the wall that surrounds Graceland.  Here I am writing mine!



Below is a video of me writing my name: 




There it is.

Me, hanging out in Elvis' backyard!

Elvis videos!

Here are a few Elvis videos that I thought you might enjoy!

The first is one we have been watching in class this week.  It is Elvis performing "Hound Dog" on the Ed Sullivan show in 1956.



Next, a medley from his '68 Comback Special.  The kids call this one "Rockin' Elvis".





And, finally, a movie trailers from one of the 33 movies that Elvis starred in!

G.I. Blues.

Happy New Year!!

I hope everyone had an AWESOME Christmas break!  I did!

But, now we are back at school.  And, as anyone who has gone to Clarksville Primary knows, January is Mrs. Stahl's favorite month!!!  IT IS ELVIS MONTH!!!  Woohoo!


The "Musician of the Month" for January is Elvis Presley!  In music this month we will be listening to Elvis songs, watching videos of Elvis singing, playing instruments to Elvis music, and looking at pictures of his amazing career.

Here is the most loved video at Clarksville Primary.  It is requested and watched more than any other. 

Ladies and Gentlemen:  Jailhous Rock!
