Freedom (parody of Treasure by Bruno Mars, by Mrs Granger's class - topic: the Civil War)

Federal, federal, federal, federal power
But the south wants their own state control
Northern jobs in factories and towers
Southerners tried to break Lincoln’s soul

Oh no oh oh oh oh
I know that you don’t know I’m sick of being sold (being sold)
oh no oh oh oh oh
This life is getting old please let us go (let us go)

Freedom, that is what we need
Ending slavery, we agree
North and South are battling
Slavery’s chains stop rattling
But the South wants to secede, oh oh

verse 2:
General Robert E. Lee he had to surrender
General Grant and his army won the war
John Wilkes Booth was Lincoln’s assassin
Reconstruction and freed slaves were the goals post-war

We won the war, the Civil War,
we won the war, the civil, Civil War
We won the war, the Civil War,
we won the war, the civil, Civil War

Freedom, that is what we need

North and South are battling

Place It (parody of Beat It by Michael Jackson, by Ms Center's class - topic: place value)

verse 1:
They told me how significant the value’s place
You need to know this, get that look off of your face!
You might fail the test, but that’s not the case
So place it, just place it!

You better think, you will need to be able
To find the digit’s value, put it on the table.
Hundreds, tens, and ones,then figure out the label
Just place it, and your gonna be rad!

Just place it, place it, place it, place it
Everybody wants to ace it!
Show them the value, choose the right place
If you mess up, you can erase
Just place it place it, just place it place it
Just place it place it, just place it place it

Decimals and fractions, they are really the same
They show you just a portion of everything.
Little dot in the spot, it will change the name
So place it, just place it

I went to buy some Jordans that were tight and nice
Saved up all my money, made a sacrifice
The decimal is precise, helped me figure out the price
So place it, but my money ran away.

Just place it, place it, place it, place it
Everybody wants to ace it!
Show them the value, choose the right place
If you mess up, you can erase
Just place it place it, just place it place it
Just place it place it, just place it place it
