Save The Trees, Please

© 2003 Bossetunes

CD IN STOCK. ORDER NOW. Will ship immediately.

Catchy tunes with clear vocals in country/folk acoustic guitar style. Lyric sheets are well illustrated and have suggested activities to meet National Science Standards and multiple intelligences. Great supplement to kindergarten FOSS program.

notes

Children learn their ABC's through song so why not sing science? This CD encourages children to learn about plants using many original tunes and some familiar melodies as well.
This CD does have one song about rainforests but the rest of the songs are about what we can do to improve habitat in our own backyards as well as exploring the various parts of plants and special adaptations such as seed dispersal...it comes with a bound cardstock booklet of lyrics and suggested multiple intelligence activities. It is very compatible with the FOSS program for children.


..."We have been singing your songs as well. The info you gave me was helpful. I specifically enjoyed the activity ideas and songs."
Kathy Swegels, kindergarten teacher in Northville

"The remarks we received both from teachers and students were extremely positive. Not only did they delight in your program, but learned a great deal also. Yours is such a pleasant medium to transmit a knowledge and love of
nature... and I especially appreciate your interest and enthusiasm in doing so" Sally Fraser, former president of North Hill PTA in Rochester

"Just wanted to say thank you again for the super program you provided for my second graders... I am enclosing some letters they wrote you...they want to be sure you remember them after you become famous."
Marilyn Kevern, Brewster Elementary, Rochester

And my absolute favorite is from a second grader: Robin Nagel

Who's the Boss?
Hi, I'm Evie Boss. I have been playing
guitar for 30+ years. I started writing
songs because if they were mine no one
would know if I messed up!!!!

I have been teaching Biology for 30 years and use my guitar occasionally in the classroom to introduce a concept. It all started when I wrote a funny song about the parts of an earthworm. I was surprised to discover that my former students would come back and be able to sing "Willy the Worm" two years later!! I have found music to be a wonderful teaching tool as well as creative outlet for many of my students.

I have been creating environmental programs for elementary schools and nature centers for 20 years using a variety of materials and songs. I have helped schools develop courtyards and grounds to encourage wildlife, started recycling programs, and raised orphan and injured animals.

My children's albums are always easy listening with a variety of styles from country, folk, pop, to Dr. Seuss-like poems. I pride myself on clear vocals so that the words are heard. I also provide a booklet with lyrics and suggested activities to promote multiple intelligence learning. I have been blessed to see extremely shy children and even autistic children respond to my music.

It took a bout with breast cancer (survivor since 1996) to give me the courage to begin sharing my inspirational music at various retreats in the midwest. My "Heart Songs" provide music which inspires, promotes healing, and encourages personal growth. In 2006 I had surgery for thyroid cancer and it motivated me to produce a CD ("When Cancer Calls") for survivors. All proceeds go to Gilda's Club.

I am a member of the Science Songwriter's Association as well as a member of Environmental Songwriters.
I am honored to be listed in the 2006-2009 touring program directory of the Michigan Arts and Humanities Council. I not only perform for children but have recently begun doing programs for teachers which touch on topics such as stress management, using music in all disciplines, inexpensive hands-on activities,putting the fun back into the fundamentals of science, and the multiple intelligences approach.

My greatest wish for all is that we each always carry a song in our heart,
Evie
