School Song
(Tune: “Polly Wolly Doodle”)
Oh, I go to school to learn and play
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day!
Oh, I go to school to learn and play
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day!
Fare thee well, fare thee well,
Fare thee well, dear Mom/Dad today!
For I go to school to learn and play
Singing polly wolly doodle all the day!
ACTION RHYMES
School Tools
Crayons are for drawing
Coloring bees, bats or bugs
Not for coloring on things
Like desks, walls, or rugs!
Scissors are for cutting
Snipping paper with car
Not for cutting your clothes
Or your neighbor’s hair!
Pencils are for writing
Scribbling names and numbers too
Not for throwing, poking, banging
Or for you to chew!
This Is the Way
(Tune: “Mulberry Bush”)
This is the way we raise our hand
Raise our hand, raise our hand
This is the way we raise our hand
Here at our school
Sit criss-cross...
Eat our lunch...
At My School
(Tune: “London Bridge”)
I like to paint and build with blocks,
Build with blocks, build with blocks,
I like to paint and build with blocks,
At my schoo-ool!
I like to sing and model clay
Model clay, model clay
I like to sing and model clay
At my schoo-ool!
I like to ride the trikes and swings
Trikes and swings, trikes and swings
I like to ride the trikes and swings
At my schoo-ool!
It’s Cool to Go to School
(Tune: “A-hunting We Will Go”)
I’m learning every day
I’m learning every day
It’s oh so cool to go to school
I’m learning every day
I’m learning about letters
I’m learning about letters
That’s what I need so I can read
I’m learning about letters
I’m learning about numbers
I’m learning about numbers
Without a doubt then I can count
I’m learning about numbers
I’m learning to make friends
I’m learning to make friends
I want to play with you today
I’m learning to make friends
