Printable Coin Songs #fssparklers23
Hello! We are starting our unit on coins and have been singing these coin songs for years! We typically write these songs on chart paper and hang it up, but if you have little space on your classroom walls, these smaller printable versions might be better for you! With the exception of the "Penny Song" and "I'm A Little Nickel" which was written by myself and my grade-level team, the other songs were found online through various blogs. Enjoy!

America The Beautiful/Partner Song/Patriotic Choir Song
This lovely patriotic partner song, designed to complement the melodic anthem “America, The Beautiful,” will be easily learned by your choristers just in time for a Veterans Day presentation.
As the arrangement itself dictates that the song be repeated three times, this version uses only the first stanza of the heartfelt words. Should you wish to use other verses written by the lyricist, you are most welcome to do so as the complete verses by Katharine Lee Bates are included in the zip file.
