1) The Lord's Prayer
2) Miranda rights. (Watched too many episodes of Dragnet and Adam 12)


A co-worker:
The Preamble to the U.S. Constitution......Thanks to School House Rock.
 

The 50 states in alphabetical order (part of a song, but I've forgotten the rest)...
 
My elementary school song-Boys and girls of Sharswood School, ever so loyal and proud is the ru-u-u-le...

Learned it 40 years ago and still remember every word. Sometimes I can't remember what I walked into a room for, but that school song? Like an elephant.

The order of the planets - "My Very Energetic Mother Just Slept Upon New Pillows"

Leaflets 3 - Let Them Be

"On the 18th of April in '75, hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous day and year..." (It's from "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere", but that's all I remember.)

All I remember from The Gettysburg Address -

"
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure."

And I all I remember from The Declaration of Independence -

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."

In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue...

Luke 2:1-20, The Lord is my Shepherd, & many other Bible verses thanks to Christian school & Sunday school

This & That, These & Those... Demonstrative Pronouns! Oh what a relief it is when all of them are found!

The prepositions - aboard, about, above, after, against, along, amid...

I never saw a purple cow.
I never hope to be one.
But I can tell you now -
I'd rather see, than be one.
 
Yep. That's it.

Fifty Nifty is on YouTube! My first graders were just learning a similar song for the presidents at school. We watched it on youtube at home and I was telling them about Fifty Nifty. They were not impressed! It was a huge thing. It was the "Music around the World" song for my 3rd grade year at school. I may even have the button!
 
Also tons of Shel Silverstein poems

Mrs McTwitter the babysitter
I think she's a little bit crazy
She thinks the babysitter's supposed
To sit upon the baby!
 
The one line I had in that one play I did. "You're going to be sent home!"

(Actually I did another play with a fairly big role, but I forget my lines now.)

A song of prepositions.

Fried Egg = City States
Brand it on your brain! = Cultural Diffusion

Those are both from 7th grade World History.
