Honors Choir Lion King Music (Recorded by the East Elementary Honors Choir and the Littleton Chorale 2006-2007

Honors Choir:

Here is the recording of The Lion King for you to listen to and learn.

The Lion King

Honors Choir - Small Part of the World - 5th Grade Continuation

Here are the lyrics and a link for you to listen and practice our up-coming music:


I AM A SMALL PART OF THE WORLD

I am a small part of the world. 
I have a small hand which to hold.
But if I stand by your side and you put your hand in mine,
Together we can be so strong and bold.

I am a small part of the world. 
I have a small dream in my eyes.
But if I tell you my dreams and if you add yours to mine,
Together we can reach up to the skies.

Hand in hand, dreams combine,
Voice with voice, together for all time.
Hand in hand, dreams combine,
Voice with voice, for all time.

I am a small part of the world. 
I have a small voice ringing clear.
But if I sing out for freedom, and you add your voice to mine,
Together we have nothing left to fear.

Hand in hand, dreams combine,
Voice with voice, together for all time.
Hand in hand, dreams combine,
Voice with voice, for all time.

I am a small part of the world.  Take my hand.

Baritone Ukulele Club

Today was the first Baritone Ukulele club at East.  We had a great time and many of the students were interested in purchasing their own ukulele's.  The brand we have at school is Rogue and the price is $30.00.  I purchased the 12 that we have for clubs on Amazon.  Make sure when you are ordering that you buy a BARITONE ukulele.

Here are a couple links if you are wanting to purchase a Ukulele.
