Sam’s fourth grade class learns about a different fungus every Friday. While I was there volunteering last month (sorting take-home papers), the teacher asked the class “Should we sing our song for Sam’s mom?” They broke into joyful chorus. I barely got my camera out in time to catch any of it:
Apparently Sam is so skilled at reading aloud the mushroom facts, including scientific names, that he became the official mushroom reader. One day his friend sang the Muffin Man song as joke, and it took off amongst the students. Now they sing this song every week before learning about the featured fungus.
That is adorable. I’m more than a little jealous that he gets an awesome theme song and title!
