Winter Lights concert lyrics, "Fixer Upper"


Winter Lights concert lyrics, "In Summer"


Ms Cowan's concert lyrics

MRS COWAN
It's Snowing!
to the tune of "Ten Little Indians"
Snowflakes falling down, down, down,
Snowflakes falling down, down, down,
Snowflakes falling down, down, down,
Falling to the ground.

Watch them growing deeper, deeper,
Watch them growing deeper, deeper,
Watch them growing deeper, deeper,
Covering the ground.

Children playing--snow is fun!
Children playing--snow is fun!
Children playing--snow is fun!
When it hits the ground.

Now it's getting warmer, warmer.
Now it's getting warmer, warmer.
Now it's getting warmer, warmer.
Melting all the snow.

Very soon it disappears,
Very soon it disappears,
Very soon it disappears,
Now the snow's all gone.


MRS COWAN
Round Little Snowman (action rhyme)
(Traditional)
A round little snowman,
(Hold hands out to demonstrate "chubby.")

Had a carrot nose.
(Point to nose.)

Along came a bunny,
(Hop like a bunny.)

And what do you suppose?
(Shrug shoulders; hold out hands, as if to question.)

That hungry little bunny,
(Rub stomach.)

Looking for his lunch.
(Hold hand above eyes, as if searching for something.)

Ate that snowman's carrot nose,
(Pretend to eat.)

Nibble, nibble, crunch!!

Mrs. Fleming's class: concert lyrics

MRS FLEMING
The Winter Pokey
to the tune of "The Hokey-Pokey"
You put your right mitten in,
You take your right mitten out.
You put your right mitten in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the winter pokey, [shiver]
And you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!

You put your left mitten in....
You put your right boot....
You put your left boot....
You put your long scarf in....
You put your warm cap in....
You put your snowsuit in....

MRS FLEMING
Five little Snowmen
Five Little Snowmen (action rhyme)
Five little snowmen standing in a row.
(Hold up five fingers; stand up straight like soldier.)

With two eyes each, and a carrot nose.
(Point to eyes; point to nose.)

Along came the sun and shone all day,
(Form sun with hands; wipe sweat from brow.)

And one little snowman melted away.
(Hold up one finger; slowly "melt" to the ground.)

Four little snowmen...
Three little snowmen...
Two little snowmen...
One little snowman...)

All Nature Sings



All nature sings and round me rings the music of the spheres!

This year's theme in music class is all about listening to, seeing, and experiencing our natural world. We will sing, do finger plays, dance, and play instruments; using a variety of musical ways to express the natural world that we so enjoy here in Vermont and around the globe. Our Winter Lights concert this year is on December 10th at 1:00. Be sure to mark your calendars. We will be singing a variety of songs with the theme "Freezing" and ending with a medley of... you guessed it....songs from "Frozen"!

Glad Place

By Susan Detweiler

Strolling through the Meadow on this breezy autumn day,
I hear sweet birds, soprano songs, as I walk along the way.

The river whispers secrets and I stop and strain to hear.
It tells me of its travels and it smiles through its tears.

Or is this rain. Ah, yes! It's so! I run to find some cover.
A grove of trees, red and yellow, will make a fine umbrella.

Thunder's calling from a distance.The sun peeks through a cloud.
Golden raindrops glisten. I say, "That's so cool!", out loud.

Crickets creak. Frogs low speak. I notice and I sigh.
A lovely way to end my day. "Goodnight, glad place, Goodbye!".
