    |Thank you, Dennis, for getting another good idea started. Here's mine for
    |weaving.
    |
    | At Kindergarten level I start the children on basic yarn weaving on
    |a cardboard loom. They stretch and tie their warp threads, then use
    |individual strands of Maysville Rug Filler for the weft. As I demonstrate I
    |chant...
    | Over, Under, Over, Under...
    |then slyly I change to
    | Overwhere, Underwhere, Overwhere, Underwhere...
    |then I break into song (on key, of course)...
    | Oh where, oh where is my underwear,
    | Oh where, oh where can it be?
    | With its polka dots and its fancy stripes
    | Oh where, oh where can it be?
    |
    | The children giggle and never forget the rhythmic process of weaving!
    |

    ||I'm searching for songs ( for elementary students )
    ||that would help reinforce art vocabulary. Any ideas?
