Star Spangled Banner - Whitney Houston

In memory of one of the very BEST SINGERS of all time. 

I get chills every time I watch this!!

I know many of the students at Clarksville Primary School don't know who Whitney Houston is.  But, she was a wonderful singer who inspired Mrs. Stahl!  She was popular (like Justin Beiber) when Mrs. Stahl was a little girl!

This is the very best National Anthem I've ever heard. 

America, the Beautiful

Each month First Grade learns a new Patriotic song.  In September, we learned You're A Grand Old Flag. 

The Patriotic Song for October is America, The Beautiful.  You can watch and sing along with the video below!

And, you all know how much we LOVE Elvis here at Clarksville Primary.  Soooooo, here is a video of the King singing America, the Beautiful!!!  Enjoy!

Yay, Elvis!!!  :D

John Philip Sousa

John Philip Sousa

The Musician of the Month for September was John Philip Sousa. 

He was a composer who loved writing marching music.  His nickname is the "March King".  One song he composed is Stars and Stripes Forever.  Listen to the song here:

In class we watched this funny video of the Muppets performing Stars and Stripes Forever!
