began to dance around.
Frosty the Snowman was alive as he
could be.
All the children say he could laugh and
play just the same as you and me.
Frosty the Snowman knew the sun was
hot that day.
So he said,”Let's run and will have some
fun now before I melt away.”
Down to the village with a broomstick
in his hand.
Running here and there all around the
square saying,” catch me if you can.”
He led them down the streets of town
right through a traffic cop.
And he only paused a moment when he
heard him holler stop!
For Frosty the Snowman had to hurry
on his way.
But he waved goodbye saying,” don't
you cry, I'll be back again someday.”

24. “Would You Like to Swing on a Star?”
Oh, would you like to swing on a Star.
Carry moonbeams home in a jar.
And be better off than you are…
Oh, would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long furry
ears.
He kicks up everything he hears.
His back is brawny, that his brain is
weak.
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn
streak.
And, by the way, if you hate to go to
school.
You might grow up to be a mule.
Oh, would you like to swing on a Star.
Carry moonbeams home in a jar.
And be better off than you are…
Oh, would you rather be a pig?
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face.
His shoes are a terrible disgrace.
He has no manners when he eats his
food.
He's mean and lazy and extremely
rude.
But if you don't give a feather or a fig.
You might grow up to be a pig.
Oh, would you like to swing on a Star.
Carry moonbeams home in a jar.
And be better off than you are…
Oh, would you rather be a fish?
A fish won't do anything but to swim in
a brook.
He can't write his name or read a
book.
To fool the people is his only thought.
And though he slippery, he still gets
caught.
But then if that's the sort of life that
you wish.
You might grow up to be a fish.
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo.
Every day you see quite a few.
So you see it's all up to you.
You can be better than you are.
You can be swinging on a Star.
25. “Colors of Earth.”
ChorusWho can count all the colors of Earth?
Each color is different, each color is
true.
We're made of the colors of Earth, and
I love the colors that made you.
Tell me the names of the colors of the
earth: the purple of a plant, the purple
of peach.
The green and the black of the rock's
on the beach and the sun on the
mountain in the morning.
When I look in the eyes of my friends, I
can see Topaz I can see sky.
The green in the gray of the sea rolling
by and the dazzling Brown River in the
morning.
When I look at the hands of my
friends, I can see chestnut, I can see
corn.
The color of wheat fields or a dappled
brown fawn and the rain kissed black
trees in the morning.
Earth that I love, do you know how I
feel? How much I love the sea shells?
How much I love the stones?
When I walk barefoot in the fields all
alone, I sing out a song to the morning.
26. “Talk with the Animals”

28. “Baby Beluga.”
Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea,
Sun so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below,
and a little white well on the go.
Baby Beluga, baby Beluga,
is the water warm? Is your mama
home? With you so happy?
Way down yonder where the Dolphins
play,
Where you diet and splash all day.
Waves roll in and the wave rolls out.
See the water squirting out of your
spout.
Baby Beluga, all, baby Beluga,
Sing your little song, for all your
friends.
We like to hear you.
When it dark, your home and fed.
Curled up snug in your waterbed.
Moon is shining and the stars are out.
Good night, little whale, good night.
Baby Beluga, oh, baby Beluga.
With tomorrow Sun, another day's
begun.
You'll soon be waking.
Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below,
and the little white whale on the go.
You're just a little white whale on the
go.
29. “The Goldfish.”
Lots of little fish were sleeping on a
rock in the bottom of the ocean.
They lifted up their heads.
And they shook out their tails.
And they said.” Let's go swimming.”
And they put in their mouth.
They brushed North and South.
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch
And then they said.
“Wait a minute, we're Fish!
We don't brush our teeth!”
Let's go swimming, let's go swimming.
Yeah, let's go swimming,
Let’s go swimming, let's go swimming.
In the bottom of the ocean.
Then the little fish got so very, very
tired that they came back to the rock.
They put down their heads.
And they put down their tails,
And they took a little nap.
Let's go swimming, let's go swimming.
Yeah, let's go swimming,
Let’s go swimming, let's go swimming.
In the bottom of the ocean.
Then the little fish got so very, very
tired that they came back to the rock.
They put down their heads.
And they put down their tails,
And they took a little nap.
And when they woke up.
They decided to take a shower.
And when they woke up.
They decided to ride their bicycles.
So they washed their hair.
And they washed their ears.
And they washed their tummies.
And they washed their beards.
And they washed their nose.
And they washed their toes.
And then they said.
So they rode to the left.
And they rode to the right.
And they rode all day.
And they rode all night.
They rode down the hill.
And then faster still.
And then they said,
“Wait a minute, we’re Fish!
We don't take showers!”
“Wait a minute, where fish!
We don't write bicycles!”
Let's go swimming, let's go swimming.
Yeah, let's go swimming,
Let’s go swimming, let's go swimming.
In the bottom of the ocean.
Then the little fish got so very, very
tired that they came back to the rock.
They put down their heads.
And they put down their tails,
And they took a little nap.
Let's go swimming, let's go swimming.
Yeah, let's go swimming,
Let’s go swimming, let's go swimming.
In the bottom of the ocean.
And when they woke up.
They decided to brush her teeth.
So they got their toothbrush.
And their toothpaste.
They squeezed a little on
They tried not to waste.
Original Curriculum Songs“The Geometric Shapes” by Kelly King
(To the tune of the farmer in the Dell)
The geometric shapes, the geometric shapes,
the circles, squares and triangles, the geometric
shapes.
Now I know some shapes of leaves and next I’ll
learn their parts!
“The Leaf Parts” by Kelly King
(to the tune of “You are my sunshine”)
The square has four sides. The square has four
sides and each one is the same in length exactly
the same size.
These are the leaf parts.
The lovely leaf parts.
If you look closely, then you can see.
The blade, the veins and the outside margin.
The petiole hooks it to the tree.
The circles perfectly round, the circles perfectly
round. Look around the classroom lots of circles
can be found.
“Math Facts” by Kelly King
(to the tune of “A bicycle built for two”)
The triangle has three sides, the triangle has
three sides. There are three kinds of triangles
each one a different size.
The geometric shapes, the geometric shapes.
Each day I love discovering the geometric
shapes.
“Right Here in My Classroom” by Kelly King
(To the tune of The Mulberry Bush)
Spinning and sorting, mopping the floor.
Washing some dishes, pouring and more!
Painting and cutting, friends of the door.
Right here in my classroom!
Lucky for me, my work is like play; I'm learning
and getting stronger this way. Polite friends and
teachers help me each day. Right here in my
classroom!
“The Leaf Drawer” by Kelly King
(To the tune of”I've been working on the
railroad.”)
I have been working with the leaf drawer
Learning shapes of leaves.
Ovate, Obviate, elliptical
Obcordate if you please.
Spatulate is like a spatula.
Cordate’s like a heart.
Math facts, math facts, they are such fun to
learn!
Beads and the teen boards wait on the shelf, in
turn.
With number rods and spindles.
Sandpaper numbers and sea shells.
A count to 10 and count them again, till I'm
ready for golden beads!
Units, 10 bars, 100 square, so straight.
Then the thousand cube is a heavyweight!
I learned the decimal system, with banking
games and addition.
I’ll multiply, subtract, divide
With the beautiful golden beads!
“Sensorial “by Kelly King
(To the tune of “Baa, baa, black sheep.)
Pink tower, red rods, broad stair too.
Shapes and colors, rough and smooth.
Things to smell and bells to ring.
Mystery bag’s a favorite thing.
Cylinders that make it wall.
Help me learn sensorial!
“Language.” By Kelly King
(To the tune of the “Eensie, weensie spider.”)
The things I see each day, I wonder what they're
called.
Sandpaper letters, I can name them all!
Sure vowels and long vowels, writing carefully.
Soon I will be reading, I'm so proud of me!
“The Colors” by Kelly King
(To the tune of “The rainbow song.”)
Red and yellow and pink and green,
Purple and orange and blue.
I can match the colors, match the colors,
Come and match them too.
Red and yellow and pink and green,
Purple and orange and blue.
I can name the colors, name the colors.
Can you name them to?
Look around your world, look around your
world.
There is so much to see!
I can't find the colors in my classroom,
Come and look with me!
