Town Meeting!

On Monday, November 25th our class will be hosting the school Town Meeting!  We will be up on stage, singing four songs loud and proud.  Since Thanksgiving is fast approaching and our Harvest Festival is next Wednesday, we have food on the brain - and three of our songs certainly show it!

We will be singing some songs we know well and some that are new.  We know This Land is Your Land very, VERY well since we sing it each week with Bradley during our Woodie Guthrie study on Fridays.  We also learned a few new songs, including one that seems to be a fast-favorite.  It has LOTS of new words though.  This weekend, ask your child to try to sing it without using the words.  It's a funny song about one of our favorite foods: Sandwiches!


Sandwiches are beautiful,
Sandwiches are fine.
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time;
I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch;
If I had a hundred sandwiches, I'd eat them all at once.

Once I went to England,
I visited the Queen,
I swear she was the grandest lady
That I've ever seen.
I told her she was beautiful
And could not ask for more,
She handed me a sandwich
And she threw me out the door.

Sandwiches are beautiful,
Sandwiches are fine.
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time;
I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch;
If I had a hundred sandwiches, I'd eat them all at once.

A sandwich may be egg or cheese
Or even peanut butter
But they all taste so good to me,
It doesn't even matter
Jam or ham or cucumber,
Any kind will do.
I like sandwiches,
How about you?

Sandwiches are beautiful,
Sandwiches are fine.
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time;
I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch;
If I had a hundred sandwiches, I'd eat them all at once.

Sandwiches are beautiful,
Sandwiches are fine.
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time;
I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch;
If I had a hundred sandwiches, I'd eat them all at once.
