Sweet Honey In The Rock
By , on February 9th, 2009
In connection with Follow the Drinking Gourd , Princess of the Universe and I spent my lunch break looking all around this website: Sweet Honey. First we just listened to some of the tracks on there. Their voices together are like honey.
It took a few minutes to find, but they have a section just for kids with some really fun activities. We probably had the most fun trying to match the baby pictures with the current pictures of the group. The kids page is here.
**Be sure and click on the counting songs to hear Sweet Honey In The Rock sing numbers in different languages.
Includes Japanese (Grass Sandals: The Travels of Basho , Grandfather’s Journey )
Includes also several other languages too! Great go-along activity for many books.

About Lynn 
Approaching-50 mother of four. Thrifter. Content with lots of clothes bought for very little money. Loves retro. (That could be styles from the 40s and 50s. And sometimes stuff even older than that. And sometimes stuff from all time, all mixed up together!) Bluffs about decluttering but secretly loves STUFF. Goes through stages. Has standing and staring spells before rearranging the entire home. Just because. Tune in each day to see what new outfit comes home from G.W. Boutique next. (That's Goodwill, by the way.) Oh, and she owns a spoiled beagle named Annie. And this blog.

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884

Diane, thank you for visiting the Lamberts’ site and for purchasing. You are so sweet! They are such a nice family and have done so much for so many people.
Sweet Honey In The Rock — they have beautiful voices, don’t they? I’m glad you listened. We sure had fun looking around their site yesterday.
We are moving along in Hamlet.
Thank you again,
Lynn
Hi Lynn,
I just wanted to share that I am going to use the Honey sight with my ninth graders in collaberation with our music instructor for part of our curriculum for Black History Month. I shared it with him and the ideas just exploded!
I’ll let you know how it all turns out.
As for the Lamberts Site-5 In A Row
I was very impressed with the opportunities they offer and the quality of their products. Great Stuff! I signed up for the email magazine, etc.
I am also tickled to hear you are both still experiencing Hamlet. Let me know how it is going.
Have a day filled with AHA moments!
Diane
Diane, thank you so much, and I would love to hear what you ended up doing and how it turned out! I am glad you liked Five In A Row. We have really enjoyed it here.

Sweet Honey was on Reading Rainbow Monday. My son LOVED them! He sang all day. Thanks for sharing their site, we will check it out!!
Amber, aren’t they great? I want to get a CD by them. There’s actually a list of CDs I want.

Can you tell me the name of the Sweet Honey and the rock song which talks about “These are not my children….. I can’t think of the name of it… but it has to do with Children are raised in a village? Thanks.
Just followed the link to Grass Sandals – totally have to buy this book with my Japan addiction!!
