The Bethlehem Children’s School Raps – Reading, Writing and Rhyming [AUDIO][VIDEO]
On Wednesday, I visited The Bethlehem Children's School and spent some time writing and recording a song with the elementary and middle school kids. One of the unique things about this school is the multi-age classrooms. Kids in grades 1 through 5 are grouped together in the Elementary class, and grades 6 through 8 are grouped together in the Middle School class. I didn't work with the younger kids, but the school also has a pre-k program. Take a listen (there's also a video included)
I asked the kids if they wanted to start with a song and create their own lyrics to the melody, like a parody, but this group of kids wanted to start from scratch. They decided on a rap song.
Here is the audio of their song:

Lyrics:
Yo! This school is cool
The Bethlehem Children's School
It's very small, we give our all
We don't have any bullies, ya'll
A lot of one on one, and we have fun
And we don't stop til the learning's done.
The greenest school you've ever seen
We're a green, clean, learning machine
We're stewards of the earth, we don't take it for granted
It's everyone's job to save the planet
Little school, BIG education.
We're on our favorite radio station
