When doing their research of the 17th century, the third graders found a children's song from that time period.  Mrs. Enderle taught them the song and made this video.  The song is called "The Marriage of Frog and Mouse," from a book called "Melismata: Musical Fancies" written in 1611.  Marriage of Mouse and Frog.m4v
