Hello Preschool Families!
Rumor has it that your children have been trying to teach you our daily songs and our grace prayer! I suppose it would help if you knew the words, so I'll share those with you here. If the song has a familiar tune that goes with it, I'll include that as well!
Our Grace Prayer (both classes)
Thank you, Lord, for the world so sweet
Thank you, Lord, for the food we eat
Thank you, Lord, for the birds that sing
Thank you, Lord, for everything
(while there is a tune to this, we choose to speak it instead. It seems a bit more respectful this way :)
Tuesday - Thursday Songs
Our good morning song is much shorter and much simpler than the MWF morning song. In the spring time, we will begin teaching the class the MWF song to help prepare them for their 2nd year.
Good Morning Song- Hello!
Hello, Hello
Hello and how are you?
I'm fine, I'm fine
And I hope that you are, too!
(sometimes we sing it to the teachers, and they sing back to us!!)
Good Bye Song - Now Our Time at School is Done
(kind of goes to the tune, Jimmy Crack Corn)
Now our time at school is done
We've learned so much and had some fun
We'll come back to smile and play
And see our friends another day.
Monday-Wednesday-Friday Songs
Good Morning Song - This is the Day
This is the day
This is the day that the Lord has made
We will rejoice
We will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day that the Lord has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day
This is the day that the Lord has made
(we are also learning hand motions to go along with this)
Good Bye Song - It is Time to Say Good-Bye
(Tune: "She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain)
It is time to say good-bye to all our friends.
It is time to say good-bye to all our friends.
It is time to say good-bye,
Give a smile and wink an eye. (wink)
It is time to say good-bye to all our friends.
Good-bye friends. (wave)
I hope this helps you out when you are listening to your children singing our songs!
All Blessings,
Miss Jean
