Kindergarten through third grade learned a little about the life of Joan Baez and how she sang songs about equality, peace, and many events going on in the world.
Fourth and fifth grade discussed what civil rights are and talked about the Civil Rights Movement. The students learned how to sing "We Shall Overcome", talking about why this song would be used in the Civil Rights Movement. They then heard a little about the life of Joan Baez and how she sang songs about her political feelings - equality and anti-war, in particular.
