There Goes the Sun

Well, the big event came and went. Closer to “non-event” here in Toronto as the sun teased us some 30 minutes before its appointed Total Eclipse time. It did finally get dark enough to turn on the streetlights at 3:20, but felt like a minor drama. And I couldn’t see anything with the special eclipse glasses. Oh well. 

 

The school I’m teaching at dismissed the kids early and the public schools literally cancelled school. Mostly from fear of litigation, in case kids didn’t follow instructions and looked directly at the sun while at school. Again, oh well. 

 

Meanwhile, thought of songs about sun and sunshine to teach the kids today in my morning classes and without peeking at Google, came up with a list of ten. I’ll cross-check with Google later, but meanwhile, curious what you can come up with. Not that it’s easy to share on this format, but play the game anyway and see what comes to mind. (I suspect that there are various Pop songs that fit the category written after 1973, when I pretty much stopped listening. So you might easily beat me.). I’ll post my list tomorrow, followed by Google’s. 

 

Ready? Set? Go!!!!
