These are the songs the preschoolers will be performing on December 18th. We will be practicing them in class, but if you could help your child practice them at home, that would be very beneficial! (Especially for the 2-day and 3-day students because they do not have music class.)
The Advent Song (to the Tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star") Advent is a time to wait, (hold hand up as you say "wait") Not quite time to celebrate, (shake head and wag finger from side to side) Count the candles 1 by 1, (put fingers up, one at a time) Until Advent time is done. (wave hands, palms down) Christmas day will soon be here, Time for joy and time for cheer! (pump fist up into the air on word "cheer") www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_BIqS0wmPQ Someone's Coming (to the Tune of "Are You Sleeping?") Someone's coming, someone's coming Do you know who? Do you know who? Jesus is coming, Jesus is coming Born for me, born for you. Light A Candle (To the Tune of "Jimmy Crack Corn") Light one candle, Advent's here Light one candle, Advent's here Light one candle, Advent's here Christmas time is near. (clap, clap) Light two candles, Advent's here Light two candles, Advent's here Light two candles, Advent's here Christmas time is near. (clap, clap) Light three candles, Advent's here Light three candles, Advent's here Light three candles, Advent's here Christmas time is near. (clap, clap) Light four candles, Advent's here Light four candles, Advent's here Light four candles, Advent's here Christmas time is near. (clap, clap) Twinkle, Twinkle Twinkle, twinkle shining star Wise men followed from afar! Worshiping Him With gifts to bring For they knew He was the King Twinkle, twinkle shining star Wise men followed from afar! Away in a Manger Away in a manger, no crib for his bed The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where he lay. The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2ULTkNmIEY Jesus Loves Me (Christmas) Jesus, baby O so small, Crying in this cattle stall, You are born so I can know God is here and loves me so! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so. Ring Those Bells (To the tune of "Jimmy Crack Corn") Oh, ring those bells and turn around. Ring those bells and turn around. Ring those bells and turn around. Christmas time is here. Ring those bells and stomp your feet. Ring those bells and stomp your feet. Ring those bells and stomp your feet. Christmas time is here. Ring those bells and jump up high. Ring those bells and jump up high. Ring those bells and jump up high. Christmas time is here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSNVffcuRr0 You Are My Snowman (To the tune of "You Are My Sunshine") You are my snowman, My only snowman. You make me happy, on days of gray. And when the sun's out, You'll hear us all shout. Please don't take our snowman away! Snowflake on My Nose (To the Tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It") There's a snowflake on my nose, on my nose! There's a snowflake on my nose, on my nose!

Hello Preschool Families!
I wanted to write a post about rhyming. This is an important pre-reading skill for preschoolers to master. Being able to rhyme, will help your child become a stronger reader because he will be able to more easily notice the sounds in words. While doing assessments the past couple of weeks, I noticed that many of the preschoolers this year struggle with rhyming. Therefore, I wanted to provide you with some ideas/resources to help you practice rhyming words together at home. Here are some websites you can visit the provide both ideas and resources for teaching rhyming to your child. They include suggested books to read together and downloadable resources that you can use to practice this skill with your child.
Also, you can check out Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) and find even more printable resources that you can use with your child. Some are free, some cost a little money. I will provide some of my favorites (free and non-free) that you can choose to download and use at home. FREE:
I hope you will find some of these ideas helpful for you and your child! Thank you so much for all you do at home to help your child continue to learn and grow at school and in life. Blessings, Ms. Barker |
