Re: [LM_NET] LM_NET Digest - 4 May 2010 - Special issue (#2010-729)

[Marcia Russo <marcirus1@GMAIL.COM>]

This is my first attempt in a long time to contact the listserv. Our school
has an arts festival every year and this year they want the faculty to
present a talent show. I sing, but haven't sung "popular" music in a while.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a K-2 audience, especially something
that might tie into reading or summer reading? If anyone would know, it
would be this group.

Thanks,
Marcia
