Here are the texts of common songs and chants we sing in Kindergarten.
September Songs
The Kindergarten Song
I am a Kindergartener, don't you know
I am a scholar, don't you know
I will be responsible
Do my best, in all I do
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah!
I am a Kindergartener, don't you know
I am a scholar, don't you know
I will be respectful
Nice and kind, to all I see
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah!
I am a Kindergartener, don't you know
I am a scholar, don't you know
And I will learn
Think, learn, and grow
More everyday
Oh year, yeah, yeah!
Chant to Start our Day
Fired up! Fired up!
Ready to go!
Ready to go!
This is the way
We start our day
We get the knowledge
And we acknowledge ("nice" to a classmate)
We celebrate
When we do great
We persevere
So we can go anywhere
Go you! Go you!
Go me! Go me!
Think, learn, and grow
And glow and glow and glow!
Citizenship Song
As a good citizen
I help my classmates
I know my actions affect them
Together are our fates
As a good citizen
I give my very best
To help advance my fellow man
In each and every quest
As a good citizen
I'm mindful and take care
My prudence leads to greater things
Progress beyond compare
Integrity Song
Integrity, integrity
Standing up for what is right
Even with no one asking me
I strive to do what's right
Integrity, integrity
I know right from wrong
So I try to lead with goodness
My whole life long
Perseverance Song
I've got a lot of perseverance
I don't give up when things get tough
I focus on my work
Try again another way
I know I can reach my lofty goals!
I've got a lot of perseverance
I don't give up when things get tough
I take a deep breath
Try again another way
I know I can reach my lofty goals!
I've got a lot of perseverance
I don't give up when things get tough
The pride that I feel
Fills me up
When I reach my lofty goals!
Honor Song
Honor is a pillar we lead with every day
H-O-N-O-R, H-O-N-O-R, H-O-N-O-R
Oh Honor's what we have
We tell the truth
Stand up for friends
Take pride in all we do
H-O-N-O-R, H-O-N-O-R, H-O-N-O-R
Oh Honor's what we have
We see the good in others
Act fair and respect everyone
H-O-N-O-R, H-O-N-O-R, H-O-N-O-R
Oh Honor's what we have
Excellence Song
I'm working with Excellence
Doing my best in all that I do
Pushing myself further and further
To learn things that are new and true!
Minnesota Song
I come from Minnesota
Where the sky blue waters flow
Ten thousand lakes, or maybe more
It's Up North we all go
(chorus)
Minnesota, we're called the Gopher state
Star of the North, state 32
We think that you are great
The lady slippers pink and white
The common loon's our bird
Its eyes so red, it swims and dives
Its call just must be heard
(chorus)
The Vikings and the Twins play hard
The cherry on the spoon
Mosquito bites and northern lights
We hope you visit soon!
(chorus)
