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

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.
