​             December 8, 2025 @ 3PM​

​

Please start rehearsing the songs whenever you can in class.  Encourage students to study at home.  Have it playing the background whenever they are doing busy work.  We will focus on these 5 songs.  Two of them are holiday classics.

The others will need some practice.

"All I Want for Christmas is You"

​

Our version of this song is shortened.  I will soon add the recording of the way we do it.  

​

​

​​

​​​​​

​

​

​

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

​

I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day

​

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you

​

repeat, then "All I Want for Christmas is You" three times at the end

​

​

 

​

​[Verse]
Kay sigla ng gabi, ang lahat ay kay saya
Nagluto ang ate ng manok na tinola
Sa bahay ng kuya ay mayroong litsonan pa
Ang bawat tahanan, may handang iba't-iba
 

 

"Noche Buena"

 

 

 

 

​

​

 

[Verse]
Kay sigla ng gabi, ang lahat ay kay saya
Nagluto ang ate ng manok na tinola
Sa bahay ng kuya ay mayroong litsonan pa
Ang bawat tahanan, may handang iba't-iba

[Chorus]
Tayo na, giliw, magsalo na tayo
Mayroon na tayong tinapay at keso
'Di ba Noche Buena sa gabing ito?
At bukas ay araw ng Pasko
Tayo na, giliw, magsalo na tayo
Mayroon na tayong tinapay at keso
'Di ba Noche Buena sa gabing ito?
At bukas ay araw ng Pasko

[Verse]
Kay sigla ng gabi, ang lahat ay kay saya
Nagluto ang ate ng manok na tinola
Sa bahay ng kuya ay mayroong litsonan pa
Ang bawat tahanan, may handang iba't-iba

[Chorus]
Tayo na, giliw, magsalo na tayo
Mayroon na tayong tinapay at keso
'Di ba Noche Buena sa gabing ito?
At bukas ay araw ng Pasko
Tayo na, giliw, magsalo na tayo
Mayroon na tayong tinapay at keso
'Di ba Noche Buena sa gabing ito?
At bukas ay araw ng Pasko

"MATUNDA YA KWANZAA"

       (First Fruits in Our Bowl)     

 

 

 

 

 

 

Matunda ya kwanza,

First Fruits in our bowl,

Matunda ya kwanza,

Fresh Food for our soul,

Family and friends,

the parts of a whole.

Matunda ya kwanzaa,

First Fruits in our bowl.

 

Jambon, Haberigani,

Hello, How are you?

In this Kwanzaa season,

A time to renew,

The bonds between people,

All of us who

Have worked to produce

The fruits that we grew.

                                        

Matunda ya kwanza,

First Fruits in our bowl,

Matunda ya kwanza,

Fresh Food for our soul,

Family and friends,

the parts of a whole.

Matunda ya kwanzaa,

First Fruits in our bowl.

​

​

“Matunda ya kwanza,”

In Swahili they say,

To celebrate the produce.

That is now on our tray,

From it’s African roots

To the San Francisco Bay.

Seven core principles,

One for each day.

​

Umoja, together we win.

 

Kujichagulia, with ourselves we begin,

 

Ujima, earn and share what we make,

 

Ujamaa, do our part in the give and take,

 

Nia, value your identity,

                                                              

Kuumba, create more beauty,

 

Imani, have faith in humanity.    

 

 

1, 2, 3, 4         *chorus      

​

Matunda ya kwanza,

First Fruits in our bowl,

Matunda ya kwanza,

Fresh Food for our soul,

Family and friends,

the parts of a whole.

Matunda ya kwanzaa,

First Fruits in our bowl.

"Jingle Bell Rock"

​

​​

​

​

​

​

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet

That's the jingle bell,

That's the jingle bell,

That's the jingle bell rock.

​

Ya da da, da da da....

​

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away (rock the night away)
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell (rock)

"Jingle Bells"

​

​​

​

​

​

​

​​

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way.

​

Bells on bob-tails ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight.

 

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

​

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way.

Bells on bob-tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.

​

Jingle bells, jing-jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
 

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

​

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way.

Bells on bob-tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.

​

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh,

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

​

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh,

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
