[HANASHIR:10708] Re: Tree song successes

[Rachel Gurevitz <gurevitzr...>]

 Wanted to share a new strategy that gets even 11 and 12 year olds crouching on 
the floor, doing wild tree poses, and singing at full volume.  Unfortunately, 
it only works this side of the Atlantic....

Before closing our end of Cheder assembly this morning with Josh's Tree Song, I 
told all the kids that songleaders all over the USA had been discussing using 
this song with their kids this morning.  Except your morning is just about to 
start now, and ours just finished.  So I told them that we were singing this 
song before all the other kids in America.  They were very happy about this.

... And they loved the song too.  I even persuaded a few parents to join in, 
although most were being far too British and proper and just grinned 
embarrasedly.

Hope you've all had fun being trees today.
