2nd Grade

These classes have been learning an American folk song called "Paw Paw Patch". Pawpaw trees are the largest edible fruit trees in North America. The fruit has a sweet, custard flavor suggesting faint traces of mangos, bananas, papaya and pineapple. The game our students are playing here is called a "play party" and originated in Appalachia. This type of dancing lets students move to the form of a song, work with a partner, experience a traditional reel folk dance and have fun!!
