The Nile River is not only the longest river in Africa, but it’s the longest river in the world. It was an extremely important part of Ancient Egyptian life and provided them with a rich source of food, transportation, and resources used for building. Egyptian civilization developed along the Nile River in large part because the river’s annual flooding ensured reliable, rich soil for growing crops. The Nile supported and allowed life to thrive in the grueling climate.Designed for classroom | hom

"Praise the Farmers" and original song

Created by

Gilster's Goodies

During the Harvest Season I couldn't find a song that celebrated farmers and their importance to our future. There were the old political songs of my youth but they were long outdated. For years I sang 'Old MacDonald had a Farm', and 'The Farmer in the Dell' but this year it wasn't enough so I write this original melody. The visual for the book can also be found on this site. This Mp3 file has me singing the song as a guide and then a clean performance track following so you can use it with yo
