Dirt Made My Lunch

[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/SCeyXW64cns" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Well, the video is a little hokey, and the band a little odd, but this is one of my preschool students’ favorite songs.  We sing it a lot! The Banana Slug String Band‘s songs are filled with messages of conservation and connectedness to nature, like “Dirt Made My Lunch”.

The Banana Slug String Band is committed to educational entertainment for children and families through interactive music and performance. We are dedicated to fostering positive attitudes about the environment, providing accurate information about natural history and science, promoting music appreciation, building self esteem in children, honoring creativity, supporting the arts in education and sparking in people a joyful sense of wonder. Through the production of tapes, CD’s, videos, songbooks, picture books, curriculum, activity guides, teacher workshops and concerts, we hope to make these values accessible to an increasingly wider audience. We endorse and support collaboration with other individuals and organizations that promote the well being of children, family and the environment. We believe that music is a powerful instrument for honoring diversity while uniting people for the common good.

Banana Slug String Band even performs at schools!

    Know and love this song from my child’s younger years. I still play the recording or sing a line from this cassett now and then. Wonderful.

    When my daughter was less than two, she had a little pair of jean overalls so small they had snaps for diaper changing. I remember her crawling between the plants (I had taken companion planting very seriously so there really weren’t rows in most of the garden). Now she was a little giant, standing, smiling at everything, loving it. She would reach into the earth and hold up a pungeant handful and grin.

    As she grew up, everyone she was close to was a gardener. My mom and dad had her out in their community garden plot every year–we have many photos of her holding up the harvest and peeking among the sunflower leaves, working. Her dad put in a garden, making it a huge part of his lifestyle, and there she was out with him, in the rows.

    She went to a grade school where gardening was a class. The school she graduates from this year interviewed a bunch of us parents and did some more research. There will be an organic garden next year, and the beginnings of an orchard. My surprised daughter says she is jealous, and I guess she will have one more piece of delight when she returns to rendez-vous with old friends.
