A new simple song for 1st Grade is called Grandma Grunts. Students learned this song by listening to it over and over. After hearing it for a few weeks, they were able to sing it independently. Once the class could sing it without any help from Miss Dagenais, individual students sang solos for the class. They are so brave to sing all by themselves!
Grandma Grunts said a curious thing,
Boy can whistle but girls must sing.
That is what I heard her say,
'Twas no longer than yesterday.
Boys can whistle (whistle, whistle, whistle)
Girls can sing "Tra la la la!"
Many students were not happy to hear what Grandma Grunts had to say. Some girls love to whistle and some boys love to sing. We all decided that we don't agree with Grandma Grunts. We can all whistle and sing if we want!
Hear Mrs. Bayer's class perform this song in the following video.
