Our third grade reading series has the story of Rosa Parks, I discovered a few
years back. So our third graders knew the story before I had them in February
and began to teach "Back of the Bus". Very timely, and I was complimented by
the 3rd grade teachers. The song is in SBMM 3rd grade.

Also, my kids loved the idea of songs with secret messages!
