I have been re-reading Sandra's book... but the new version. Sandra: I
would love to hear your ballads.
Do you have any recordings to share? Especially the ones you describe in
the book... used in your classroom. I love learning from songs... and 3.5
year old dd, Zoya, loves things learnt thru songs.

I'd love to collect some of these ballads/songs that put everyday
information/history.math etc into song format.
Any sources or places online i can find/buy them?

Thank you! Hema

I did record some years back, but they're on cassette tape and I don't
think there are extras. Somewhere I have the master.

I could sing some ballads at the monkey platter festival at some
point, maybe. Twice at conferences I've done something with ballads.

But those are good for history and geography and language and trivia
of culture of some hundreds of years ago, or of shipwrecks or
trainwrecks more recently. I sang The Titanic, at the HENA conference
in Arizona in March, and said there was still one survivor living.
She's died since then. She had been a baby, in the lifeboat.

For learning more current little-kid things, the best we ever had was
called Sounds Like Fun and came from Discovery Toys. We used to play
it in the car. It had alphabet sounds and courtesy and counting by
tens and the months of the year. Not ballads (not story-songs), just
little songs.

We can count by tens, up to one hundred, we can count by tens, ready here we go! I love this CD, too. One of my lullabys is the "i love you so much" song also from this CD. Thanks for mentioning a good one! :) Jennie
