Music Connection: Create new verses by having students
select workers they would like to be. Do not be concerned about rhyming.

We Are Workers
(Tune: Frere Jacques)

We are workers, we are workers,
Yes we are! Yes we are!
Brian is a baker. Brian is a baker.
He makes bread. He makes bread.

We are workers, we are workers,
Yes we are! Yes we are!
Sarah is a fire fighter. Sarah is a fire fighter.
She puts out fires. She puts out fires.
