Na Na Na Boo Boo (echo) Na Na Na Boo Boo (echo) Verse 2 You know just what I mean; it happens to us all. There’s a baby in the family – they’re cute until they crawl. Then they get into your stuff, and they drool, and sneeze, and cough. Na Na Na Boo Boo (echo) Na Na Na Boo Boo (echo) Verse 3 My parents make me go to bed at the same time every night. I try to sneak a comic book, but my dad turns out the light. As I lay there bored to death, I mutter under my breath . Na Na Na Boo Boo (echo) Na Na Na Boo Boo (echo) Verse 4 My teacher gives us homework. It takes up all my time. When is a kid supposed to learn to run and jump and climb? Then comes the Friday test – and that pounding in my chest. Na Na Na Boo Boo (echo) Na Na Na Boo Boo (echo) Verse 5 So the next time you get mad, and you don’t know what to do, Just follow my advice, it’ll help to pull you through.

Song Lyrics: American Tune by Paul Simon Many’s the time I’ve been mistaken And many times confused Yes, and I’ve often felt forsaken And certainly misused Oh, but I’m all right, I’m all right I’m just weary to my bones Still, you don’t expect to be Bright and bon vivant So far away from home, so far away from home I don’t know a soul who’s not been battered I don’t have a friend who feels at ease I don’t know a dream that’s not been shattered Or driven to its knees Oh, but it’s all right, it’s all right For lived so well so long Still, when I think of the road We’re traveling on I wonder what went wrong I can’t help it, I wonder what’s gone wrong And I dreamed I was dying And I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly And looking back down at me Smiled reassuringly And I dreamed I was flying And high above my eyes could clearly see The Statue of Liberty Sailing away to sea And I dreamed I was flying Oh, we come on the ship they call the Mayflower We come on the ship that sailed the moon We come in the age’s most uncertain hour And sing an American tune Oh, it’s all right, it’s all right It’s all right, it’s all right You can’t be forever blessed Still, tomorrow’s going to be another working day And I’m trying to get some rest That’s all I’m trying to get some rest Reading: “Heart Labor” by Maggie Anderson When I work too hard and then lie down, even my sleep is sad and all worn out.

  • Discovering Mathematics Through Music
    Classes Discovering Mathematics Through Music Heidi Gilman Bennett Introduction “Listening to and making music form strong connections in the brain. These are the same connections that are used to solve math problems.”* Before your child gets to school, he will have heard music on the radio, sung along to catchy tunes, and memorized favorite musical nursery rhymes. Scientists have been exploring the connection between these early music experiences and learning mathematics, and realizing that music is great preparation for success in math. And it’s not just listening to music that prepares your child’s brain, but actually making music! With all due respect to today’s scientists, their findings are validating what great thinkers from ancient times (not to mention music teachers and pre- school teachers!) have long suspected and observed. Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician, used math to make sense of musical theory. Boethius, the Middle Ages music expert, articulated some of his musical ideas using math concepts. Thankfully, one does not have to be a genius of these proportions to recognize and benefit from the music–math connection! Early childhood is the perfect time to use music and movement to discover mathematics. Rhythm is pattern; comparing higher pitches and lower notes is measurement; counting out the 1-2-3 of a waltz uses numbers. So . how does Kindermusik leverage these natural and powerful connections? GEOMETRY: Shapes and Space What is it? Geometry begins with understanding the shapes and structures around us in the world. One specific element of geometry is called spatial-temporal * Sawyers, K. & Hutson-Brandhagen, J.

  • Big and Small Masterclass: Session Script
    Big and Small Masterclass: Session Script This icon means there’s a slide, or slides in the presentation to accompany this line of the script. This icon indicates the students will have an activity to do, or something to write. Introduction (10 minutes) [Hand out Bigger and Smaller worksheet]. Welcome to today’s Masterclass. To start with, there’s an activity for you to work on - can you give some answers to each of the two questions on the worksheet? Give as many answers as you can, and if you want to also guess how many times bigger or smaller things are, or draw pictures, do that too. [This next section can be skipped if this masterclass is not the first one in the series.] These masterclasses are organised by the Royal Institution. Has anyone heard of the Royal Institution before? It was founded in 1799, and has always been about letting everyone have access to science - organising masterclasses and lectures, including the Christmas lectures. Many famous discoveries have been made in the Faraday building where they are based, including 10 chemical elements. Michael Faraday, who the building is named after, did work there on electricity and optics, which we all use every day. The Ri are perhaps most famous for Christmas Lectures for young people, which have taken place since 1825. They have been televised for several decades, and Document Presentation icon by Deepz; Writing icon by Creative Stall; both CC from thenounproject.com www.rigb.org 1 many past series are available on the Ri website. The Masterclass programme was born out of the Christmas lectures delivered by Christopher Zeeman in 1978, which were the very first ones on mathematics! There are many opportunities for you to visit the Ri building in London, and see the historic rooms for yourself.

  • Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship Affordable
    Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship Affordable Care Act Implementation: Examining How to Achieve a Successful Rollout of the Small Business Exchanges November 20, 2013 Connie E. Evans on behalf of the Association for Enterprise Opportunity (AEO) Good morning Chair Landrieu, Ranking Member Risch and Members of the Committee. My name is Connie Evans, and I am the President and CEO of the Association for Enterprise Opportunity (AEO), the national member organization and voice of microbusiness in the United States. For more than 21 years, AEO and its more than 450 members and partner network of nonprofit lenders and business development organizations have provided critical access to capital and business counseling to underserved entrepreneurs and microbusinesses all across the country. The importance of our topic today – health insurance and its value to microbusinesses—cannot be overstated. Similarly, our discussion of how certain elements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA, P.L. 111-148) are changing the healthcare landscape could not be timelier. Before we proceed to that topic, however, I would like to give the Committee some statistics about microbusinesses—those businesses with under 5 employees—that AEO released just last week. The report, Bigger Than You Think: The Economic Impact of Microbusinesses in the United States, tells a powerful story of how the nation’s smallest businesses make an outsize contribution to our economy. There are 26 million microbusinesses in the United States, or about 92% of all businesses. The ripple effect of direct, indirect, and induced economic activity of these firms is impressive: total employment of more than 41 million Americans, total economic impact of nearly $5 trillion, and total revenue contributions of $135 billion to federal, state, and local governments in 2011.1 In other words, although these main street businesses are small, their combined impact is significant.
