Below are some of the songs we sing at Hogarth. We may not learn all of them in a given year, but we will learn many of them.
(The) Bear Went Over the Mountain First verse only.
Bie Mir Bist Du Schoen We sing the chorus and one of the verses. The children, however, listen to this Andrew Sisters' version during playtime and are familiar with it. (And often request that I play the CD!)
Clementine We sing most, but not all of the verses found at this link.
Coconut We don't actually sing this song, but we do dance to the Harry Nilsson version a lot over the course of the school year.
Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two) We sing the chorus only, beginning with the line, Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do!
