I love This Is America (from Music K-8, Vol. 13, No. 1)! My students love this song! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVE!

We were designing actions for the words, and a 5th grade girl came up with a wonderful idea. She said, "Why don't we say the Pledge of Allegiance on the instrumental interlude?" It fits beautifully. And... they speak it with such enthusiasm - not like every morning in their classrooms. Try it!
