How+We+Will+Open+the+Program

Hello all, I just wanted everyone to know that I have been working on this section, and have found many songs and rhymes that could be used at the opening event. I will not put them all here, but I have included some of the webpages I have used in researching this part if anyone wants to look at them. Thanks, Darsi http://www.songsforteaching.com/diversitymulticulturalism.htm
 * Opening the Program** Darsi will work on this section  As a possible idea for opening the program maybe we could work with the music teacher, and plan a sing-along for each grade level where the children learn a handful of songs from different cultures. The librarian could take the time at this event to introduce the idea of the multicultural reading program, and explain some of the things that will be going on in the next few weeks.   I thought this might be a good way to get student's attention, and it would cut down on the amount of times we have to explain the program to the kids (like not having to explain to each individual library class).
