Geology Carols

So the carols were kinda successful. We did get to go caroling but of course the kids didn't get into it very much. I had 3 total kids who brought Santa hats... outta 92!!!! Most of the songs had nothing to do with geology because one person in the group ended up doing them at the alst minute. The best excuse came when I asked what Chevrolets (from the song that Jingle Rocks to the tune of Jingle bells that said "Oh what fun it is to ride in my brand new Chevrolet) had to do with rocks or geology and the boys told me it was cuz the commercials say "Chevy... like a rock!" I just grinned and praised them for being creative while on the inside I rolled my eyes.

Here is the best song BY FAR!!! (i'm typing exactly how they typed it)

Joy to the Earth (to the tune of Joy to the World)

Joy to the Earth! Its made of rocks,
And rocks are made of minerals,
They come in different sizes, and many,
Different colors, like yellow, red, brown, &
Black, like yellow, red, brown & black like
Yellow, red, brown, & black!

Joy to the Earth! Its full of gems,
Gems are shiny & hard they come in,
Many colors and many different,
Forms like ruby, sapphire, & diamonds,
Like ruby, sapphire, &diamonds, like ruby,
Sapphire and diamonds!

Joy to the Earth! Its filled with magma,
And magma helps make crystals. They,
Also form from minerals as water evaporated,
And they have many uses, and they have many uses, and they have
many uses!

Joy to the Earth! Its got lots of rocks,
They're mostly metamorphic. They're classified by composition,
And also by their texture, they're changed by pressure and,
Temperature, they're changed by pressure and temperature,
they're, Changed by pressure and temperature!


Ok, so you can tell that whoever typed it doesn't really understand how to put the words on the correct line, but if you just ignore all the punctuation errors and just sing it to the tune... then it actually ends up being a fairly informative song.

I had fun, they had fun and the other classes that we got to interrupt cracked a few smiles also... good times had by all!! -coach b!
