I've been trying to move away from songs like Old Dan Tucker and I've Been Working on the RR. If you haven't been part of this conversation in other places, here's a link to a summary.

Subject: [MK8] Singing Old Favorites program

Hi all! In the first K8 issue this year there was a wonderful script for a program that someone submitted about kids singing old favorites. Some of those songs included This Old Man, Old Dan Tucker, I’ve been working on the railroad, old Macdonald had a farm, Turkey in the straw, Wheels on the bus, Take me out to the ballgame and If you’re happy and you know it. I love the idea of this program and want to use with my 3rd graders, however I can’t see my kids doing Old Macdonald, Wheels on the bus and If you’re happy and you know it because of their age...any ideas to replace those tunes? I’m having a hard time thinking of something. Thanks!!!!
