Enjoy the videos! What do you notice about the old and new versions? What are the differences and similaries? What has changed in the music after 25 years?

We are the World
This week, classes in grades 2-5 have enjoyed seeing video from the old and new versions of We are the World. Written 25 years ago to raise money for famine relief in Africa, Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie created a classic. After the devastating earthquake in Haiti, many superstars of today came together to re-create the magical moment in hopes of raising money for Haitian victims.

Take Time In Life
I have really enjoyed listening to my students in grades 3, 4 and 5, sing one of my favorite songs this week, "Take Time In Life." This song is a West African song from the country of Liberia and has a positive message for us all. Our students have stated what is means to them to "Take Time in Life" and I hope they are able to share the song with their families and friends. Many classes have asked to perform it for their teachers, and of course I always love when students want to share and show off their beautiful music!
Can you sing this song for someone at home?
I was passing by, somebody called to me
And they said to me, "you better take time in life."
Better take time in life,
Better take time in life,
Better take time in life,
'Cause you've got far way to go.
