Preschool Performance at the Alison & Bradley Houses this Week

Hello GE Parents,

I wanted to first of all thank all of you for coming to the Christmas programs that we had last week.  The kids did such an amazing job and I was incredibly proud of them.  The kids were so excited to sing for you all!  Thank you for your support.

If you did not get a chance to see the Christmas program or if you'd like to see it again, the preschool students will be performing on Monday (12/16) @ 10:30am at the Bradley House & on Tuesday (12/17) @ 10:30am at the Alison House (both are retirement homes next door to Great Escape).  We would love for you to join us!

In music class this week, we will be discussing Christmas celebrations and songs from other languages and cultures.  The students will also listen to different styles of music (fast/slow, happy/sad) and draw a picture of how that music sounds to them and/or how it makes them feel.

Happy Holidays!
Ms. Kimberly

Songs this week:


“Mele Kalikimaka”
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way to say Merry Christmas to you!

“I Have a Little Dreidel”
I have a little dreidel. I made it out of clay.
When it's dry and ready, then dreidel I shall play.

Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made it out of clay.

Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, then dreidel I shall play.

It has a lovely body, with legs so short and thin.
When it gets all tired, it drops and then I win!

Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, with leg so short and thin.

Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, it drops and then I win!

My dreidel's always playful. It loves to dance and spin.
A happy game of dreidel, come play now let's begin.

Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, it loves to dance and spin.

Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel. Come play now let's begin.

I have a little dreidel. I made it out of clay.
When it's dry and ready, dreidel I shall play.

Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made you out of clay.

Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, then dreidel I shall play.

“Kwanzaa’s Here”
(Tune: Three Blind Mice)
Red, green, black,
Red, green, black.
Kwanzaa's here,
Kwanzaa's here.
The decorations are quite a sight,
We light a candle every night,
The holiday is filled with light.
Kwanzaa's here.

“Feliz Navidad”
Feliz Navidad!
Feliz Navidad!
Feliz Navidad,
Prospero Ano y Felicidad!

I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas!
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas!
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas,
From the bottom of my heart!
