Jingle Bells:
Jingle Bells (Learn & Sing) Lyrics and Actions
Key Gestures
Snow - Move both open hands downward with your fingers wiggling.
Sleigh - Make V shapes with your index and middle fingers on both hands. With your palms facing your chest, move your hands down and forward, like a sleigh sliding on snow.
Jingle bell - Pretend to ring a bell.
♫ Dashing through the snow, [Snow gesture.]
in a one-horse open sleigh. [Sleigh gesture.]
O'er the fields we go, [Move your flat right hand over your flat left hand.]
laughing all the way. [Pretend to laugh.]
Bells on bobtails ring, [Jingle bell gesture.]
making spirits bright. [Starting with your closed hands in front of your chest, open your hands up and outwards.]
What fun it is to ride and sing [Clap your hands and sing with a big smile.]
a sleighing song tonight. [Sleigh gesture.]
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, [Jingle bell gesture with one hand, then with your other hand.]
jingle all the way. [Jingle bell gesture with both hands.]
Oh what fun it is to ride [Clap your hands and sing with a big smile.]
in a one-horse open sleigh. [Sleigh gesture.]
Hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh.
Okay, everyone together now!
(repeat) ♫

Grade 3 students performing "A Christmas Carol"

Today, students from Grade 3 performed 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens in English Language. Through hard work and dedication, the students brought to life the Classic story of Scrooge in English for parents and students of the Plurilingual school. The play was a great success and we´d like to say thank  you to all the participants, including, all the teachers, narrators from 6th grade, and the 1st,2nd, and 3rd graders for their help in creating props, masks, and scenary.

 Stay tuned, since we will soon upload some pictures and videos.
