Wish Well SongSCHOOL FAMILY SONGS AND CHANTS

By: Karen H.

Every morning we take our attendance using our ‘Wish Well’ board and sing “We wish you well” to any students who are absent, with the explanation that

we will hold them in our hearts until they return.

Sing to the tune of: Farmer in the DellWe wish you well,We wish you well,

All through the day today,We wish you well!

Then, we look around at each other as a school family and sing to each other so we will have a great day, too:

I wish you well,I wish you well,

All through the day today,I wish you well!

Happy HouseSCHOOL FAMILY SONGS AND CHANTS

By: Debbie G.

The name of my family child care home is “Happy House.” We do this cheer at our Morning Meeting every day. I made it up on the way home from my first two-day

Conscious Discipline session with Becky in Indianapolis in 2002. We begin by sitting, clapping our knees in rhythm.

We’re Happy House KidsH A P P Y

We’re Happy House KidsH O U S E

We’re Happy House KidsWe play and learn together

We’re Happy House KidsWe keep each other safecross hands over chest

We’re Happy House KidsA helpful, caring family

make sign language “f”—thumb and index fingers forming circle-- then both hands forming circle, pinky fingers touching...the sign for “family”

We’re Happy House Kids, at Happy House, Happy House, Happy House, YEAAARight before the “YEAAA” everyone stands up, puts their hands on top of each

other’s hands, then raise them up high....like a football team at the end of a huddle.... and yell YEAAAAA

LyricsCD Chants

My students made this one up themselves:

We’re a star, we’re a star! We like ourselves for who we are!

We learn in school every day, using our brains along the way. We’re a family here at school, we help each other - we think it’s cool!

We wish you well in every way and hope you have a beautiful day!

LyricsCD Chants

In our preschool classroom our greeting is done standing, holding hands. We say:

Oh golden sun so shiney bright, please warm us with your golden light.

Let’s all hold hands that there may flow a golden stream of warmth and glow.

Then the whole class touches their toes and moves their hands up their body, stretching up high and breathing.

At the end of the day we chant:

Merry have we met,merry have we been. Merry let us part and merry met again.
