Christmas Program this Wednesday & Thursday!

Hello GE Parents,

The students have been doing such a great job practicing for the Christmas program.  I hope you all can make it this Wednesday or Thursday at 10am.  The program will last about 15 minutes, followed by a small reception, in the Grant Fellowship Hall.  The students also go to chapel this week where they will learn the story of Christ's birth and sing songs that celebrate the birth of baby Jesus.

I have included below the list of songs the students will be singing for the program next week.

Thanks!
Ms. Kimberly

 

“I’m a Little Pine Tree”

(Tune: I’m a Little Teapot)

I’m a little pine tree as you can see,

All the other pine trees are bigger than me.

Maybe when I grow up I will be,

A great big Merry Christmas tree!

“Jingle Bells”

Jingle bells,

Jingle bells,

Jingle all the way,

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh- hey!

(repeat)

“S-A-N-T-A”

(Tune: B-I-N-G-O)

I know a man with a long white beard
And Santa is his name-o
S-A-N-T-A, S-A-N-T-A, S-A-N-T-A
And Santa is his name-o!

His elves make toys for girls and boys… 

Eight little reindeer pull his sleigh…

He brings Christmas to you and me…

“Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer”

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, (hands like antlers)
Had a very shiny nose, (point to nose)
And if you ever saw it, (point to eyes)
You could even say it glows. (blink hand on nose)
All of the other reindeer (hands like antlers)
Used to laugh and call him names; (one hand on over mouth, one hand pointing)
They never let poor Rudolph (point to nose)
Join in any reindeer games. (running motion)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve, (hands like Santa’s belly)
Santa came to say: (move hands up and down- HO HO HO!)
"Rudolph with your nose so bright, (blink hand on nose)
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" (hands holding reins)
Then how the reindeer loved him (hug self)
As they shouted out with glee, (cup hands around mouth- YIPEE!)
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, (point nose, then make antlers)
You'll go down in history." (make up & down motion w hand)

 “Toys Under the Christmas Tree” 

(Tune: This Old Man)

This little drum, under the tree

(drum motion w hands whole verse)
Santa put it there for me
With a boom-boom, boom boom, rummy-tummy-tum
Christmas Day is so much fun!

This little train, under the tree
(arms back on forth by sides, march feet for whole verse)

Santa put it there for me
With a choo-choo, choo-choo, rummy-tummy-tum
Christmas Day is so much fun!

This little doll, under the tree

(rock baby in arms)
Santa put it there for me
With a ma-ma, ma-ma, rummy-tummy-tum
Christmas Day is so much fun!

This puppy, under the tree
(hands in front like paws)

Santa put it there for me
With a woof woof, woof woof, rummy-tummy-tum
Christmas Day is so much fun!

“Santa Claus is Coming to Town”

You better watch out (hand over eyes, looking)

You better not cry (pretend to cry)

You better not pout (pout)

I’m tellin’ you why (shake finger)

Santa Claus is coming to town. (santa’s belly w hands)

He’s making a list (pretend to write list)

He’s checking it twice (two fingers in air)

Gonna find out who’s naughty or nice (rub index fingers together (scolding), then point fingers to cheeks & smile)

Santa Claus is coming to town. (santa’s belly w hands)

He sees you when you’re sleeping (hands together on cheek)

He knows when you’re awake (open hands, palms out, by face)

He knows when you’ve been bad or good (rub index fingers together (scolding), then point fingers to cheeks & smile)

So be good for goodness sake (shake finger)

Oh…

You better watch out (same as above)

You better not cry

You better not pout

I’m tellin’ you why

Santa Claus is coming to town.

  

“On Christmas Day”

(Tune: The Wheels on the Bus)

The lights on the tree go, blink, blink, blink...
(blink both hands for whole verse)

Blink, blink, blink... blink, blink, blink.
The lights on the tree go blink, blink, blink...
On Christmas Day.

The presents in the house go rattle, rattle, rattle... (pretend to shake present by each ear)
The train under the tree goes choo, choo, choo… (arms back on forth by sides, march feet for whole verse)
The bells on the tree go jingle, jingle, jingle… (shake both hands like bells)
The cookies at our house taste yummy, yummy, yummy… (rub tummy)

The people in the house sing La La La… (hold hands in front like singing from a book)

  

“Reindeer Pokie”

(Sung To: Hokey Pokey)

You put your antlers in,
You put your antlers out,
You put your antlers in,
Then you shake them all about.

You do the reindeer pokie
And you turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about.

You put your hooves in…
You put your tail in…
You put your red nose in…
You put Rudolph in…

“Away in a Manger”
Away in a manger,                                                               
No crib for a bed (cradle arms and rock imaginary baby)
The little Lord Jesus (sign language for Jesus- point to each palm)
Lay down His sweet head (fold hands together and lay head on them)
The stars in the sky (point upwards)
Looked down where He lay (move hands down twinkling fingers as you look down)
The Little Lord Jesus (sign language for Jesus)
Asleep on the hay (fold hands together and lay head on them

“We Wish You a Merry Christmas”

 We wish you a Merry Christmas

(motion to chest with both hands, then make “C” and arch with rt hand)

We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year. (roll hands, tap fists on top of one another)

Now let's all do a little clapping (clap),
Now let's all do a little clapping (clap),
Now let's all do a little clapping (clap),
And spread Christmas cheer (raise arms above head)

Now let's all do a little waving (wave)...
We wish you a Merry Christmas...

“We Love Great Escape” (School Song)

We love our friends and teachers too, (hug self)

We love the fun things we do. (jazz hands)

We love to laugh, we love to play.

We learn new things every day.
