Kinder song lyrics for Spring Concert

Over in the Meadow

Over in the meadow in the sand in the sun,

Lived an old mother turtle and her little turtle one.

“Dig,” said the mother, “I dig,” said the one,

So they dug and were glad in the sand in the sun.

Over in the meadow where the tall grasses grew,

Lived an old mother fox and her little foxes two.

“Run,” said the mother, “We run,” said the two,

So they ran and were glad where the tall grasses grew.

Over in the meadow in a nest in a tree,

Lived an old mother robin and her little robins three.

“Sing,” said the mother, “We sing,” said the three,

So they sang and were glad in a nest in a tree.

Over in the meadow by a tall sycamore,

Lived an old mother chipmunk and her little chipmunks four.

“Play,” said the mother, “We play,” said the four,

So they played and were glad by the tall sycamore.

Over in the meadow in a new little hive,

Lived an old queen bee and her honeybees five.

“Hum,” said the mother, “We hum,” said the five,

So they hummed and were glad in a new little hive.

Over in the meadow in a dam built of sticks,

Lived an old mother beaver and her little beavers six.

“Build,” said the mother, “We build,” said the six,

So they built and were glad in a dam built of sticks.

Over in the meadow in the green wet bogs,

Lived an old mother frog and her seven polliwogs.

“Swim,” said the mother, “We swim,” said the ‘wogs,

So they swam and were glad in the green wet bogs.

Over in the meadow as the day grew late,

Lived an old mother owl and her little owls eight.

“Wink,” said the mother, “We wink,” said the eight,

So they winked and were glad as the day grew late.

Over in the meadow in a web on the pine,

Lived an old mother spider and her little spiders nine.

“Spin,” said the mother, “We spin,” said the nine,

So they spun and were glad in a web on the pine.

Over in the meadow in a warm little den,

Lived an old mother rabbit and her little bunnies ten.

“Hop,” said the mother, “We hop,” said the ten,

So they hopped and were glad in a warm little den.

This Land is Your Land

This land is your land, this land is my land. 

From California to the New York island, 

from the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters, 

this land was made for you and me.

As I was walking that ribbon of highway, 

I saw above me that endless skyway. 

I saw below me that golden valley, 

this land was made for you and me.

 1st Grade song lyrics for Spring Concert:

You’re a Grand Old Flag

There's a feeling comes a-stealing
And it sets my brain a-reeling,
When I'm listening to the music of a military band.
Any tune like "Yankee Doodle"
Simply sets me off my noodle,
It's that patriotic something
That no one can understand.

"Way down South in the land of cotton"
Melody untiring, ain't that inspiring!
Hurrah! Hurrah! We'll join the jubilee,
And that's going some for the Yankees, by gum! Red, white and blue, I am for you, honest, you're a grand old flag

You're a grand old flag
You're a high-flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of the land I love,
The home of the free and the brave

Every heart beats true ‘neath the red, white and blue, where there's never a boast or brag;
“But should auld acquaintance be forgot,”
Keep your eye on the grand old flag!

De Colores

De colores, de colores se vistan los campos en la primavera.

De colores, de colores son los pajaritos que vienen dea fuera.

De colores, de colores es el arco iris que vemos lucir.

Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores me gustan ami,

Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores me gustan ami.

Concert Song Lyrics

Kindergarten Songs for Fall Concert - November 6, 2019

I Bought Me a Cat

I bought me a cat, my cat pleased me

I fed my cat under yonder tree

My cat says “fiddle – eye -  fee”

I bought me a hen, my hen pleased me

I fed my hen under yonder tree

My hen says “shimmy – shack”

I bought me a goose, my goose pleased me

I fed my goose under yonder tree

My goose says “honk, honk”

I bought me a pig, my pig pleased me

I fed my pig under yonder tree

My pig says “griffey – griffey”

I bought me a sheep, my sheep pleased me

I fed my sheep under yonder tree

My sheep says “baa – baa”

I bought me a cow, my cow pleased me

I fed my cow under yonder tree

My cow says “moo – moo”

I bought me a horse, my horse pleased me

I fed my horse under yonder tree

My horse says “neigh – neigh”

Thanksgiving

Turkey and dressing’s on the table

Sweet pumpkin pie is mighty fine

Brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles

Thanksgiving is a family time.

Heads we bow, hands we fold,

thankful prayers our hearts will hold

Hands and hearts, hearts and hands

Join to stretch across the land.

I Love the Mountains

I love the mountains

I love the rolling hills

I love the fountains

I love the daffodils

I love the fireside

when all the lights are low

Boom – de – ada, boom – de – ada

Boom – de – ada, boom – de – ada

Boom – de – ada, boom – de – ada

Boom – de – ada, boom – de – ada

BOOM !

The Little Drummer Boy

Come they told me

A new born king to see

Our finest gifts we bring

To lay before the king

So to honor him

When we come

Little baby

I am a poor boy too

I have no gift to bring

That's fit to give a king

Shall I play for him

On my drum

Mary nodded

The ox and lamb kept time

I played my drum for him

I played my best for him

Then he smiled at me

Me and my drum

Land of the Silver Birch/Canoe Song

Land of the silver birch

Home of the beaver

Where still the mighty moose

wanders at will

Blue lake and rocky shore

I will return once more

Boom diddy ah dee

Boom diddy ah dee

Boom diddy ah dee boom (twice)

Swift as a silver fish

Canoe of birch bark

Thy mighty waterways

Carry me forth

Blue lake and rocky shore

I will return once more  (Boom…)

My paddle’s keen and bright

Flashing like silver

Follow the wild goose flight

Dip dip and swing

Dip dip and swing it back

Flashing like silver

Follow the wild goose flight

Dip dip and swing (Boom...)

Welcome!

For the Love of Music

Mrs.Warner's Music Class

Welcome to the new, musical school year of 2019-2020 !

I am Jolene Warner, new to ACA this year, with twelve years of music teaching experience in the Tempe Elementary District. Needless to say, I am thrilled to come aboard with the wonderful faculty and the budding scholars at ACA! 

Due to being a mommy to a toddler son, I am part-time and will be on campus Mondays, Thursdays, and first and fourth Wednesdays. Please don't ever hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have: JWarner@ArchwayChandler.org

Before you read on, please mark you calendars for these TWO MANDATORY CONCERTS:

CHANGE OF DATE!!!!

Wednesday, November 6, 2019

and

Wednesday, April 1, 2020

Sarah Cadwallender and myself will be providing more information as these dates grow closer, but the important thing is to have 100% participation, with all students wearing black bottoms (pant, skirts and shoes) and white tops/blouses, with all boys in a tie. Both concerts take place at Higley Center for the Performing Arts in the evening.

Your Child's Whole Body Will Discover Music!

HANDS AND FEET can demonstrate the BEAT through clapping, stepping, stomping, swaying, patting, etc. and can be even more fun with a partner!

EARS can develop aural acuteness and eventually aid in matching PITCH, accurately echoing and mimicking RHYTHMS, recognizing famous musical works, and categorizing selections of music into historical GENRES, identifying elements of TIMBRE, DYNAMICS and FORM. The VOICE can control its muscles to sing both low and high pitches, and can develop a pure singing TONE, becoming more confident singing many different styles of songs. The EYES can develop notation recognition through musical LITERACY with exposure and familiarity to musical SYMBOLS, eventually able to decipher complex musical scores.

Focus Units:

Quarter 1: RHYTHM

Quarter 2: MELODY

Quarter 3: FORM

Quarter 4: DYNAMICS
