Congratulations!!

Congratulations on a fantastic Spring Concert! 

We had so much fun celebrating our Wonderful World.

I am so proud of all the students. Their hard work and perseverance paid off!

The students are truly learning how to go from strength to strength in their performances. Thank you for your patience as we had to work out some technical difficulties right as the doors were supposed to open. Your students are truly blessed to have such supportive and encouraging families.

Second Grade: You Are My Sunshine

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine

You make me happy

When skies are grey

You’ll never know, dear

How much I love you

Please don’t take my sunshine away

2A

The other night, dear

As I was thinking

I saw you making

Me lots of food

When I was hungry, you gave me dinner

Then you gave me lots of dessert

2B

The other night, dear

When I was looking

Through our albums

I saw your face

And when I saw you

I was so happy

So I hugged you very tight

2C

The other night dear,

As I was sleeping,

I dreamt I held you in my arms

And when I woke up

You were still with me

So I sang this happy song

2nd Grade MC parts

This week I introduced the MC parts to 2nd Grade. 

Here are the parts so that the students can practice.

#1

Our exploration of the wonderful world around us continues. In second grade we will be singing about the vast and beautiful SKY! Imagine with me, if you will, the early morning. Can you see the sunrise? Can you see the golden colors slowly fill the sky?      Our first selection is a celebration of this beautiful morning and a new day.

#2

That is such a great song to sing when you wake up feeling happy and excited about a new day. But we all know that there are many days when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Those days can feel rainy and gloomy. Good thing the rain doesn’t last forever. This song is a reminder that after the rain is gone, sometimes you can see a rainbow in the sky. Special thanks to the 6^th graders for playing the recorder with us as we sing. 

#3

Rain doesn’t always have to make a day gloomy and sad. Sometimes, if it’s not raining too hard, it can be fun to play in the rain. It’s usually quite sunny here so we will need to use our imaginations again. Imagine big, fat raindrops falling from the ceiling. I think we need to take out our umbrellas!! Here comes the rain!!
