Well the song didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would to finish. I forget if I mentioned it, but in Social Studies, Kelsey and I were paired up together for a little project...every pair in the class had to write a song or poem about Alexander the Great. Kelsey wanted to write a poem, but I said if it had a tune we could memorize it better, and she said no singing...but I wore her down saying we could use ANY tune. You know what we end up with?
The Ants Go Marching.
Tee hee.
So it's 6 verses of stuff about Alexander the Great. Lessee...Alexander goes marching 1 by 1, the infantry goes marching 2 by 2, the Persians go marching 3 by 3, Alexandrian's go marching 4 by 4, Artisans go marching 5 by 5, and the empire goes marching 6 by 6. It's actually really crappy, and at one point it doesn't rhyme OR we rhymed army with army. Yeah. But it covers all the ground needed, from Alexander's idea of for his empire, to trying to have Persian culture, how Alexandria was center of trade and learning, blah, blah, blah...yeah. It works. And I think it gets cute points. So yay!
I still have math, but I'm not going to look at it now. Right now I really wanna write...
