Weather Songs

Hello GE Families,

Hope you all had a great spring break!  This week the students will learn songs about the weather, play a rain stick, and lots of musical movement games that are weather related.  We will also continue to practice for our circus performance.

March Music Field Trip this week!

Dear GE Families,

I am very excited that Dawson & Kellan Clough's parents will be playing multiple musical instruments for the students' music field trip on Tues and Wed this week!  They will be playing the piano, ukulele, drums and guitar.  It will be a great experience for our budding musicians.

We will sing some fun songs this week about leprechauns and rainbows, as well as play a few music based games about zoo animals.  The students will also continue to rehearse for the GE Spring Musical:  The Great Escape Circus!  I have listed our circus songs below.

GE Circus Songs

 

“Circus Song”

(Tune: I’ve Been Working on the Railroad)

I am walking through the circus (walk in place)
Happy as can be (smile real big)
I am walking through the circus (walk in place)
Just to see, what I can see (make binoculars with hands)
I can see the clown laughing (ha, ha, ha)
I can see the elephant, too (make trunk motion)
I can see the lion sleeping (yawn)
Look out (make binoculars with hands)... because he sees you too

“The Clowns in the Circus”

(Tune: The Wheels on the Bus)

The clowns in the circus go ha ha ha

Ha Ha Ha

Ha Ha Ha

The clowns in the circus go ha ha ha

All day long.

The monkeys in the circus go ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

The monkeys in the circus go ooh ooh ooh

All day long.

The elephants in the circus go err err err

Err err err

Err err err

The elephants in the circus go err err err

All day long.

The lions in the circus go roar roar roar

Roar, Roar, Roar

Roar, Roar, Roar

The lions in the circus go roar roar roar

All day long.

“Let’s Go To The Circus Today”

(Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb)

Let’s go to the circus today,

The circus today,

The circus today.

Let’s go to the circus today,

And watch the big parade.

See the funny clowns juggling

Juggling, Juggling.

See the funny clowns juggling,

In the circus ring.

Lions and tigers jump through hoops,

Jump through hoops,

Jump through hoops.

Lions and tigers jump through hoops,

In the circus ring.

The prancing horses step so high,

Step so high,

Step so high.

The prancing horses step so high,

In the circus ring.

  

“Take Me Out to the Big Top”

(Tune: Take Me Out to the Ballgame)

Take me out to the Big Top,

Take me out to the show.

Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks,

I don’t care if I never get back.

Cause it’s clap, clap, clap for the jugglers

And laugh, laugh, laugh for the clowns.

For it’s one, two, three rings of fun

At the old Big Top!

   

Musicians are (Zoo) Animals: Learning How to Conduct

Hello GE Families,

It is zoo week!  This week the students will play lots of musical zoo animal themed games.  They will also take turns being the conductor of our class band.  The students will play their instruments (drums, tambourines, bells, etc) according to the conductor's instruction- piano, forte, crescendo, decrescendo, mute.  We will also continue rehearsing for our Spring Musical: The Great Escape Circus!
