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 !

1st Grade Songs for Fall Concert - November 6, 2019

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
