1st Grade

First graders have been singing so many new songs this month! They have learned "Pierce is For People", "Five Fat Turkeys", "The Owl and the Pumpkin", "Peace Like a River", "I Love My Rooster" and a beautiful song about gratitude called "Deep and Wide". They've also been enjoying two song-stories in class: "Bear Snores On" and "Over the River and Through the Woods". Ask your child to sing one of their favorites from class for you. They have worked so hard to learn these new songs and sing them so beautifully. This video clip shows a class working on "Deep and Wide". They have mastered the chorus and are learning the verses below.

Deep and wide, deep and wide, there’s a fountain flowing deep and wide.
Deep and wide, deep and wide, there’s a fountain flowing deep and wide.

I am thankful for the good things that come to me as I live,
May I always use them wisely, may I also learn to give.

Friends and family, food and playing, work and school and toys are fun.
And I know these things are blessings as I count them one by one.
