October Circle

Rise Up O Flame, by thy light shining, Bring to us beauty, vision, and joy.

There's the firm earth under me, the blue sky over me,
So I stride, so I stand,
And I see you too,
With the blue sky over you, and the firm earth under you.

The leaves be green, the nuts be brown,
They hang so high, they will not come down.

The rain is raining all around, it falls on field and tree.
It rains on the umbrellas here, and on the ships at sea.- Robert Louis Stevenson

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands,
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands,
If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it,
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
(three verses more, with each boy choosing an action)

The fog comes on little cat feet,
It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches
And then moves on.- Carl Sandberg

Uno, dos, tres, cho
Uno, dos, tres, co
Uno, dos, tres, late
Chocolate, chocolate, bate, bate, chocolate!

Spanish vocabulary

I'm gonna shake, shake, shake my sillies out,
I'm gonna shake, shake, shake my sillies out,
I'm gonna shake, shake, shake my sillies out, and wiggle my waggles away.

Reading from "The Story of God"

For the seed of love within us,
For the beauty all around us,
For the strength of truth before us,
Praises sing to God!

The Tempest

Handbells

Brave and true, I will be.
Each good deed sets me free,
Each kind word makes me strong,
I will fight for the right,
I will conquer the wrong.

I can turn myself and turn myself, and curl up as I will.
I can stand on tiptoe, reaching, high,
I can hold myself quite still.
I can be as small as a small, small seed,
I can be as tall as a tall tall tree,
I can be as wide as the wide wide world,
I can just be me.

September 2011 Circle

Rise up O Flame, by thy light shining, bring to us beauty, vision, and joy!

There's the firm earth under me, the blue skies over me. So I stride, so I stand, And I see you too
With the blue sky over you, The firm earth under you.

Smile awhile and give your face a rest, stretch awhile, and ease your manly chest,
Reach your fingers to the sky, while you watch them with your eye,
Jump awhile, shake a leg there sir, Now step forward, backward, as you were,
Then reach out to someone near, Shake his hand and smile.

Come with me and dance with me, in the cool of autumn.
All the trees are golden now, all the bells are ringing.
Ring, ring, ring-a, ding, ding, dong, dance and sing together.
Ring, ring, ring-a, ding, ding, dong, in your shoes of leather!)

A birdie with a yellow bill Hopped upon my window sill,
Cocked his shining eye and said: "Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepy-head!"
Time to Rise RL Stevenson

I'm in the mood for singing, hey how about you? I'm in the mood for singing, singing along with you.
Hey, hey, what do you say, I'm in the mood for that today,
Hey, hey, what do you say, I'm in the mood for that.

SPEAK, sir, and be wise.
Speak choosing your words, sir, like an old woman over a bushel of apples.
Basket by Carl Sandburg

I am an acorn, the packet, the seed.
God is within me, and God is the tree.
I am unfolding the way I should be,
Carved in the palm of his hand.

Oral math

All around the mulberry bush (or cobbler's bench)The monkey chased the weasel;
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun, Pop! goes the weasel.
A penny for a spool of thread, A penny for a needle—
That's the way the money goes , Pop! goes the weasel.
Jimmy's got the whooping cough, And Timmy's got the measles
That's the way the doctor goes Pop! goes the weasel.
Every night when I get home The monkey's on the table,
Take a stick and knock it off , Pop! goes the weasel.[1]

The Tempest

Hand bells

Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.

Brave and true I will be, Each good deed sets me free, Each kind word makes me strong, I will fight for the right, I will conquer the wrong.

I can turn myself and turn myself and curl up as I will. I can stand on tiptoe reaching high, I can hold myself quite still. I can be as small as a small seed, I can be as tall as a tall tall tree. I can be as wide as the wide wide world, I can just be me.
