Fifth Grade Lyrics
Winter Solstice
Deep in Midwinter
When the Air is Chill
On The Horizon,
The Sun Stands Still
After December
Full Moon So Bright
Soon, It Will Be The
Year's Longest Night
Stars Will Align
And They'll Leave
Their Mark
Showing The Point
Of The Sun's New Arc
From This Day Forward
It's Path Will Ascend
Hours of Daylight
Grow Longer Again
This is The Winter
Solstice
Follow the Path of The
Sun
Now The New Path Has
Begun
Louisina 1927
What has happened down here is the winds have changed?
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day, the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright.
The river have busted through cleared down to plaque mines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

Breathe soft, ye winds, poem by
Ambrose Phillips
Breathe
soft ye winds,
Ye waters
gently flow
Shield
her ye trees,
Ye flowers
around her grow
Ye
swains, I beg you,
Pass
in silence by,
My
love, in yonder vale, asleep doth lie.
The Chipmunk Song (Choral version on order)
Christmas, Christmas
time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
Want a plane that loops the loop
[Alvin:] Me, I want a Hula-Hoop
[Chipmunks:]
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas don't be late
[Dave:] Ok Fellas, Get ready.
That was very good, Simon.
[Simon:] Naturally!
[Dave:] Very Good Theodore
[Theodore:] He He He He
[Dave:] Uh Alvin, You were a little flat
Watch it, Alvin...Alvin?...ALVIN!!!
[Alvin:] OKAY!!
[Chipmunks:]
Want a plane that loops the loop
[Alvin:] I still want a Hula-Hoop
[Chipmunks:]
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas don't be late
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas don't be late
Time for toys and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
Want a plane that loops the loop
[Alvin:] Me, I want a Hula-Hoop
[Chipmunks:]
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas don't be late
[Dave:] Ok Fellas, Get ready.
That was very good, Simon.
[Simon:] Naturally!

Third Grade Lyrics
Do-Re-Mi
Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with - A - B - C
When you sing you begin with DO - RE - MI
DO - RE - MI , DO - RE - MI
The first three notes just happen to be DO - RE - MI
DO - RE - MI
DO - RE - MI - FA - SO - LA - TI...
(Oh let's see if I can make this easier)
DO - a deer, a female deer
RE - a drop of golden sun
MI - a name, I call myself
FA - a long long way to run
SO - a needle pulling thread
LA - a note to follow SO
TI - a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to do oh oh oh
Doe! - a deer, a female deer
Ray! - a drop of golden sun
Me! - a name I call myself
Far! - a long long way to run
So! - a needle pulling thread
La! - a note to follow SO
Tea - a drink with jam and bread
That would bring us back to do!
A deer, a female deer
RE, a drop of golden sun
MI, a name, I call myself
FA, a long long way to run
SO, a needle pulling thread
LA, a note to follow SO
TI, a drink with jam and bread
That would bring us back to do...
DO - RE - MI - FA - SO - LA - TI - DO! - SO - DO!
Autumn Vesper
Over wood and wold,
over flood and fell,
Over flashing lake and
gleaming dell,
The harvest moon looks
down.
The harvest moon looks
down.
And when heaven smiles
with love and light,
And earth looks back so
dazzling bright,
In such a scene, on
such a night,
Earth’s children should
not frown.
The harvest moon casts
a magical glow,
Enchanting all the
world below.
Bathed in a silvered
shine, behold nature’s face divine.
And when heaven smiles
with love and light,
And earth looks back so
dazzling bright,
In such a scene, on
such a night,
Earth’s children should
not frown,
Earth’s children should
not frown.
When the harvest moon
looks down,
Earth’s children should
not frown.
A Candle’s Light
A candle’s light
Is like no other light;
Its gleaming glow will
warm the coldest night.
When winter’s day is
fading into dark,
its gleaming flame will
warm my very heart.
Into the flame my eyes
do softly gaze;
It seems I cannot turn
my eyes away.
For when I’m in the
candle’s magic trance,
It draws me to its
quiet mystic dance.
We gather round to
share the candle’s light;
We talk and laugh into
the witer night.
Each face aglow,
reflecting golden beams,
preparing us for winter
dreams.
Outside the snow I clinging
to the trees,
The mighty pines are
bending to their knees.
The wind is singing
such a lonely tune,
And winter clouds now
hide the winter moon.
We gather ‘round to
share the candle’s light;
We talk and laugh into
the winter night
Each face aglow,
reflecting golden beams,
Preparing us for
peaceful winter dreams,
For peaceful winter dreams,
A candle’s light.
Second Grade Lyrics
- Autumn Fires
Poem by Robert Louis
Stevenson
In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
The grey smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
The grey smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!

Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
I don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
Only a hippopotamus will do
I don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a
hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do
I can see me
now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh, what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see my hippo hero standing there
Creeping down the stairs
Oh, what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see my hippo hero standing there
I want a
hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too
(Additional verse)
I want a
hippopotamus for Christmas
a hippopotamus is all I want
Mom says the hippo would eat me up
But then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
a hippopotamus is all I want
Mom says the hippo would eat me up
But then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
I want a
hippopotamus for Christmas
The kind I saw this summer at the zoo
there's lots of room for him in our two car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there
And give him his massage
The kind I saw this summer at the zoo
there's lots of room for him in our two car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there
And give him his massage
I can see me
now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh, what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see my hippo hero standing there
Creeping down the stairs
Oh, what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see my hippo hero standing there

Week Nine postings
Dear Parents and Scholars,
We have one more week before Fall break, a well-deserved chance to rest, reflect and reboot. This week, we learned about the value of silence and its impact on music. One of my favorite quotes is "Next to silence, the best means of expression is music," by an anonymous author. In our busy lives, we often take silence for granted. Have you ever noticed how peaceful everything is when there is silence? It's interesting that the name of the symbol in music that indicates a certain duration of silence is called a rest!
Over break, I will be adding more lyrics to the performance songs and hope to have a definite time for the concerts in December.
In the meantime, I do have more forms for students who are wanting to join music club and will give those forms to them on Monday. Currently, it is not possible to access forms online, so our secretary has helped me with obtaining more. Forms will simply need to have a check attached or credit card information and should be given to the secretary before the end of the week.
As always, thank you for sharing your students,
Dr. Janet Norman
