Reading, Writing, & Rhyming

School pride- that's what we can't get enough of around this area, and it's in abundance at Deleware Community School in Delmar.

The kids from Pinewood Elementary School had one thing on their mind – Phys Ed class. I think I can understand why. They had just finished taking very grueling ELA tests.  Time to give them a break and have a little fun, so we wrote a song together

What a class!  What a teacher! What a school!  (Sorry folks, but I just couldn't get over this class of 4th graders from Cambridge Elementary.  These are some hard working kids!)

Spreading patriotism throughout the Capital Region - that's what we do here at Townsquare Media in association with the Reading, Writing and Rhyming Tour.  Proud to be involved.  This time it's the kids from Gardiner Dickenson School in Wynantskill

Awesome!  Fantastic! I was bummed when I had to leave!  What a fun, creative bunch of students at the Heatly School In Green Island, and they have a great message for anyone who finds themselves in a possible altercation with another.   In fact, they made a YouTube video!

The heroes of the St Jude Radiothon this year?  I'll tell you right now.  It was this group of kids who helped us out by reading these very touching "ABC's Of Cancer" essays.

A special hello, and a SPECIAL apology to Mr. Flanagan's fantastic class.  I won't go into it, but there was a MAJOR "fail' on my part causing this little song to not play on the day that it was scheduled.  Please accept my sincere apologies!!!   With that said…

I got some really fantastic letters from Slingerlands elementary kids. This is a follow-up to my songwriting visit to Mrs. Bacher's class.   What cracks me up the most is the different artistic interpretations of what my hairline looks like.  Check this out!!

Mrs. Bacher - yet another of the many great Capital Region elementary teachers I had the pleasure to meet doing the school program.  It's always a very friendly environment in her class.  In fact, the kids wanted to write a song about that very important character trait - being friend…

This school  was an hour and a half trip from my house, but was WELL worth the trip! What a great teacher and really creative first graders!  Listen to the little ditty they came up with!

I always have a great time at this school with this great teacher, Mrs. Brooks. These were really well behaved, cute kids with an important message ( I would like certain members of the NFL to especially pay attention)

Good times, and clever kids with a message.   I guess that sums up my experience at Blue Creek Elementary School in Latham.  They had something really important to share with the world - be Peacable!!  Here's the cute song they wrote about it.
