BANANAS. 🍌🎶 Yes… BANANAS! And somehow, our 4th graders turned that one word into a song!
Our #EakinElementarySchool 4th graders took songwriting to a whole new level during an unforgettable field trip to the Country Music Hall of Fame! 🤠🎵
With the help of local songwriters, students brainstormed, collaborated, and transformed one unexpected word into an original tune that had everyone singing along:
🎵 “Bananas, bananas, I love you a bunch...
Bananas, bananas, you appeal to me…” 🎵
And let's just say… that catchy chorus followed us for the rest of the day! 😂🍌
Students also had the opportunity to learn about inspiring artists and explore the evolution of country music - from classic country to today’s sounds - right here in Music City.
What an incredible experience to show our students that writing isn't just about putting words on a page. Writing can be music. Writing can be collaboration. Writing can be fun. ❤️🎶
And sometimes, all it takes is a bunch of bananas. 🍌🎵
A special thank-you to Greg and Eileen Vick for sponsoring our field trip shirts! 👕💛 Your generosity helped our students and teachers easily spot one another, stay together and enjoy this special day safely.
