Abigail Adams Goes To School

 

Along the trails of Tennessee, tomorrow morning at 10:30, I will share my National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) First Place award-winning song, Be Like Abigail (Ode to Abigail Smith Adams) with a class of third-graders at one of Nashville's premier elementary schools! I was invited by a teacher/friend to share Abigail with her students. How fun! 
 
    As you may know, women of Abigail's generation - The Revolutionary War era (1776) - were denied formal education in favor of domestic responsibilities. Among her plethora of honors (one being the wife of John Adams, first Vice-President and second President of the United States), I know Mrs. Adams would be pleased to be heralded as a patriotic woman of valor, and heroine of The American Revolution to a wide-eyed group of seven-year-olds. What a wonderful opportunity to plant patriotic, godly seeds into the hearts and minds of our children. 
 
    I'll include pictures of "Abigail Adams Goes To School" after tomorrow's adventure. "Stay tuned"...the mantra of any self-respecting musician :)
