END OF YEAR SONGS

End of Year Cadence
(The children repeat each line.)

The school year is coming to an end.       (Stand, march, and slap thighs
The school year is coming to an end.        to the beat.)
We’ll say so long to all our friends.
We’ll say so long to all our friends.
We’ve learned to read and write and spell.
We’ve learned to read and write and spell.
We know our shapes and numbers well.
We know our shapes and numbers well.
We’ve learned to follow classroom rules.
We’ve learned to follow classroom rules.
Getting along is really cool.
Getting along is really cool.
Science, music, art, PE.
Science, music, art, PE.
School’s been great for you and me.
School’s been great for you and me.
Summer’s time for outdoor fun.
Summer’s time for outdoor fun.
Read every day and play in the sun.
Read every day and play in the sun.
And when school begins again.
And when school begins again.
We’ll be happy to see our friends.
We’ll be happy to see our friends.

School Is Over
(Tune:  Frere Jacques)

School is over.
School is over.     (Children repeat each line.)
Time to go.
Time to go.
We’ve had fun learning.
We’ve had fun learning.
Love you so.
Love you so.

Days Left in the Year Song – Count down as you sing this song to the tune of  “100 Bottles of Pop on the Wall.”

(Number of days) left in the school year.
(Number of days) left, that’s so.
We’ve had fun, we’re almost done.
(Number of days) to go.
Make a paper chain and use it to count down the final days of school.
