Who Swallowed a Fly'?

LOVELAND, OHIO - The first, second and third grade students at Children's Meeting House Montessori School shared the gift of song at a local nursing home on Wednesday May 14.  The residents of Loveland Health Care Center were delighted by songs such as 'There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly', 'This Land is Your Land', 'My Dog Named Blue', and 'Waltzing Matilda'.

John Phenix, a teacher at the school, practiced songs with the children for three months and accompanied their voices with his guitar. 

"The children really enjoy preforming for an audience and the experience was rewarding and valuable for both residents and children," said Mike Flohr, a teacher at Children's Meeting House Montessori School.
