The More I Learn   

by Ms. Grace and the 5th Graders at Drew

​

​

​

​

​

​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

 

 

​​

​

[Chorus]

The more I learn my brain gets bigger,
The more I learn my brain gets stronger,
The more I learn my brain gets smarter,
So what’s that mean? I gotta work harder!

 

​

(Verse 1)

Yo, it’s the 5th grade crew, we’re ready to shine,
Books in our hands and knowledge on our minds.
Math on the board, yeah, we solve it quick,
Fractions, decimals, we got that trick.

​​

​

(Verse 2)

Science experiments, fizz and pop,
Hypothesize first, then watch it drop.
History stories from long ago,
We learn the past so the future can grow.

 

​

(Verse 3)

​

Recess time, we run and play,
Kickball champs every single day.
But in the classroom, we give our all,
5th grade brains standing proud and tall!

Chorus:                     G  Studio habits of mind,

             G C G Am G D How can they support our creativity?

                                  G  Focus the work and you’ll find,    

                       C G D G  Success in productivity,

 

D     Develop Craft,

CG  Engage and Persist,

D     Envision the draft,

CG  Express, like you can’t resist?

D     Observe what’s all around,

Em   Reflect on what you see,

C     Stretch and Explore beyond what 

D     you thought you could be,

 

CGDG And understand you play a part in this world of art,   

            You play a part in this world of art.              

           (Repeat)

​

                   C               D           G

​​

Chorus:              Studio habits of mind,

                           How can they support our creativity?

                           Focus the work and you’ll find,    

                           Success in productivity,

 

Take a class in your field,

Push yourself to the task

Imagination revealed,

Can you feel it, I ask?

Take note of the room,

And bring your answer to the floor,

When the urge comes to grow let yourself out the door,

 

And understand you play a part in this world of art,

You play a part in this world of art.               (Repeat)
