Peter, Paul, & Mary - A Great Music Group

Peter, Paul, & Mary first got really famous in the 1960's singing folk music and some rock n' roll but always, the songs they sang made you want to think more about the words they were singing. Sometimes serious, sometimes sad, sometimes just plain fun -- Peter, Paul & Mary's music is great for kids of today, too! They have never really stopped teaching and making us think. Their music is still popular and they are loved by several generations of fans.

Here are some of their songs. As you listen, try to imagine what they are trying to tell you. What is the theme or meaning behind each song? Did you enjoy it? Do you think you could learn to sing it?


I bet you and your Mom and Dad would have a lot of fun singing these songs together.

Where to buy school supplies?

This is a list of some major retailers who have already set up shop (online) for back to school supplies. Some places listed offer school supplies to the individual student and some places offer school supplies in bulk (for teachers and homeschoolers). Some offer both.

It should be expected that other retailers like Walmart, RiteAid, Target and more will also get around to doing their own back-to-school offers.
