Happy August!!
Some of us have already headed back to school; some of us still have a bit of summer ahead of us but are in our planning stages for the upcoming school year. So I thought it’s a great time to focus on some school-time songs like, a Hello Song!
Whether you are a classroom teacher, a homeschooling parent, a music teacher or a grown-up who loves to structure their little one’s days with some music – I’ve got a *new* Hello Song for you to start your day (or class, or circle time) with!
It’s called Starting Our Day and I first shared this song in my Preschool Circle Time Tips video back in 2020 when I made that whole 4-part video series for teachers.
I’ve been asked a few times for the lyrics and/or chords to the song. So I decided to make a video of just the song. So here is your new Hello Song:
STARTING OUR DAY
I’ve got the lyrics and chords for you so you can start using it right away:
