Here are the poems we have learned so far this year:
Zip-a-dee-do-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay
Zip-a-dee-do-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay
I'm excited because it's my first day!
I'm gonna learn and I'm gonna play!
Zip-a-dee-do-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!
It is time for us to go, now.
We're gonna ride the school bus-
Our new teacher's waiting for us!
Zip-a-dee-do-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay-
Wonderful feeling, on my first day!
APPLES!
Way up high in the apple tree
Five little apples were smiling at me!
I shook that tree as hard as I could,
Down came those apples
M-m-m! They were GOOD!
A Little Elf
A little elf
Sat in a tree
Painting leaves
To throw at me.
Leaves of yellow
And leaves of red
Came tumbling down
About my head.
I'm A Little Firefighter
I'm a little firefighter on the go
Here is my helmet, here is my hose
When I see a fire hear me shout
Turn on the water and put the fire out!
Christopher Columbus
In fourteen hundred ninety-two,
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He had three ships and left from Spain.
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.
October's Party
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came.
The Chestnuts, Oaks and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins, sitting on a gate.
The first one said, “Oh, my it’s getting late!”
The second one said, “There are witches in the air!”
The third one said, “But we don’t care!”
The fourth one said, “Let’s run, run, run!”
The fifth one said, “I am ready for some fun!”
Ooo went the wind, and out went the lights
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
All Saints
There are many saints whom we don't know by name,
For God works through people who never find fame.
But, gathered together, they now sing God's might,
With martyrs and prophets in heavenly light.
Veteran’s Day
We honor all our soldiers
Who are so brave and tall.
They have a lot of courage
And aren’t afraid to fall.
They protect each and every one of us
No matter how big or small.
We honor all our soldiers
Heroes to us all!
I'm Glad I'm Not a Turkey
Oh, I'm glad I'm not a turkey
A turkey, a turkey.
Oh, I'm glad I'm not a turkey
On Thanksgiving Day.
They'll stuff you and baste you
And then they will taste you.
Oh, I'm glad I'm not a turkey
On Thanksgiving Day!!
LIGHT THE ADVENT CANDLE
Light the Advent candle one.
Now the waiting has begun
We have started on our way
Time to think of Christmas Day.
Candle, candle burning bright,
Shining in the cold winter night
Candle, candle burning bright
Fill our hearts with Christmas light.
