This year, I got to pay many visits each to Ashlawn Elementary School, Carlin Springs Elementary School and Timber Lane Elementary School and Tuckahoe Elementary School in the classes of Ms. Anctil (K), Ms. Allen (2), Ms. Andersen (aka Miss Robin, Pre-K), Ms. Campbell (K), Ms. Coffman (3), Ms. Everett (K), Ms. George (1), Mr. Grasso (3), Ms. Harris (K), Ms. Howard (2), Mr. Koppelman (2), Mr. Mitchell (K), Ms. Morgan (K), Ms. Resutek (1), Ms. Robinson (1), Ms Sackett (1),  Ms. Slovensky (1), Ms. Strickland (3), and Ms. Trojan (1).

What a fantastic year for Sing Books with such amazing teachers and wonderful kids.  In each of the over 200 performances in the 2014/2015 school year, we sang a selection of the following approximately 140 songs, listed in (mostly) alphabetical order:
