♪ ♬ ♪ Music Performance with Mrs. Gabel ♪ ♬ ♪

What an excellent opportunity for the children 
to show their families all the 
valuable skills they learned in Music class.
We started off our music performance with the "Hello" song!
It's a fun and simple song that greets children and lets them
know that we're happy that their here!

We sang lots of of our favorite songs,
TINGALAYO!
Tingalayo! Come little donkey, come.
Tingalayo! Come little donkey, come.

My donkey walk, my donkey talk,
My donkey eat with a knife and fork!
My donkey walk, my donkey talk,
My donkey eat with a knife and fork!

The children made a lovely bouquet of colorful flowers 
that was presented to Mrs. Gabel.
We had fun singing...
"Going over the Sea" 
When I was one
I had some fun
Going over the sea
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
and the pirate said to me,
“ Going over, going under,
Stand at attention like a soldier
With a 1 2 3 “
The children seem to enjoy this song because they love to make that
clacking sound and stamp their feet when the acorn is being stepped on!
I'm an acorn small and round
lying on the cold, cold, ground
people always step on me
that is why I'm cracked you see
I'm a nut (clack, clack)
I'm a nut (clack, clack)
I'm a nut, I'm a nut, I'm a nut (clack, clack)

Mrs. Gabel demonstrates tempo 

and different ways to step to the beat!

Head and Shoulders Baby 1, (clap) 2, (clap) 3 (clap) 
Well…. I ain’t been to Frisco, 

I ain’t been to School 

I ain’t been to college 

But I ain’t no fool 

To the front 

To the back 

To the si- si- side. 

To the front 



To the back 
To the si-si-side

We are keeping the rhythm with some
EGG SHaKeRs!!! 
*shake high, shake low*
A Patriotic song
America
"My Country 'Tis of Thee"
Our families looked on as we sang a traditional song 
Paw Paw Patch
"Where, oh where, of where is sweet little Nellie? 
Way down yonder in the paw-paw patch."  
Music and Movement in Motion
Dancing rainbow scarfs!
We can wave, toss, twirl or spin our scarfs to music!
Dancing scarfs being tossed 
and caught in the air!
Watch OUT!!!
DINOSAUR ALERT
We are the dinosaurs marching, marching...
...we stop and eat our food...
...and we make the earth flat!
round of 
*applause*
& we take a bow!
Oh, what fun we had!
Thank you so much Mrs. Gabel!
After our music performance we enjoyed having 
a yummy snack and refreshments.
