14 Best Good Morning Songs

Songs and rhymes are a great way to create a warm and welcoming classroom environment. The beginning of the day in any early childhood classroom is especially important, this is a time when you set the tone for your entire day. You can start your day off right by welcoming your students with a catchy song.

Have you ever noticed how a good circle time song can have a calming effect on kids? Or how it can capture their attention almost magically? Music is a powerful teaching tool!

At the celebration dedicated to this date, you can perform soulful songs-alterations dedicated to this holiday.

Songs-alterations for the Day of the Educator and Preschool Worker

The theme of the famous song “Hope is my earthly compass” (music by A. Pakhmutova) will be played by the “Hymn of Educators”.

1. Back to work in the morning,
We are away from home again,
Children meet us again,
Contests, crafts - everything is familiar.
Here we have work and friends,
And enthusiastic faces of children.
And you can't get away from it,
Let it all last a long, long time.

Chorus:
And the garden calls and calls,
Here we sculpt, play, and build.
And we create comfort for children,
And everyone deserves an award.

2. And all around fun, children's laughter.
Everything is familiar to us firsthand.
After all, we are educators with you,
Children meet every day.
And let the years run, fly,
And sometimes it's hard in life.
Happiness and love to you for years,
Dear and close friends!

Chorus:
And the garden calls and calls,
And friendship warms us all.
And we are all a big family,
We can't do otherwise.

Another touching song about kindergarten teachers is performed to the motive of the song “Weather in the House” (music by V. Gorobets):

1. Today we have “Ladder of Success”,
And the doors are all open for guests.
Well, there is no better gift for us,
Than to see the faces of all your friends!

Chorus:
The most important thing is the weather in the house,
Where they are always waiting for you with joy.
We are all a family, and everything else,
Easy to fix with an umbrella.

2. We are all so different, of course,
But we also have a common feature:
We create comfort and joy in the house,
And all life is devoted to this.
Chorus.

3. It doesn't matter if it's snow, fog or frost,
But exactly at seven we will open a kindergarten.
The house comes to life, the light in all the windows,
And the teacher is glad to meet a new one.
Chorus.

Other songs about kindergarten teachers for Teacher's Day

A lot of positive emotions at the holiday dedicated to the Day of Teacher and Preschool Worker will be evoked by listeners with a perky and cheerful song-alteration to the motive of the song "Communal Apartment" (group "Dune").

1. Oh, our dear, sweet garden, garden of mysteries and miracles!
Where else is there such happiness, where else is there such progress?
Gathered all employees under one huge roof.
We need no other kindergarten, "Firefly" has become our home.

Chorus:
This is our kindergarten, our favorite kindergarten!
This is our kindergarten, the kindergarten "Firefly"!

2. In the morning children will gather with ringing laughter.
The cooks cook porridge for everyone, the teacher has been waiting since morning.
The methodologist writes the program, the storekeeper submits a report,
And the supply manager will solve the issues - to carry out repairs for us on time.
Chorus.

3. The head educator closely monitors the process,
The nurse keeps medical books, the laundresses wash everything on time.
Musicians compose and give a concert for everyone.
Fizruk flash mob start, waiting for us in the sport of all success.
Chorus.

Here is the text of another song about kindergarten teachers (to the motive of the romance "Dear Long", music by B. Fomin).

1. We are reluctant to get up at six in the morning,
But we will see children's eyes -
And all our worries will recede,
It's time for us to go to work.

Chorus:
Yes, I am a teacher, which means
That children were entrusted to us not in vain.
And we will educate them, and caress them,
And it's not difficult for us, to be honest.
Yes, I am a teacher, yes, a teacher,
And even though our salary is small,
We are enthusiasts and dreamers,
And we will shout three times:
"Hurrah!", "Hurrah!", "Hurrah!".

2. And in the garden again, again worries,
He fell, this one has a bruise.
Believe me, this burden is not easy.
All day to replace their mother.
Chorus.

3. But problems come again:
Teachers' Council and experience to generalize.
And so that the kids don't get bored,
We need to play games with them.

Chorus:
Yes, I am a teacher, which means,
And this means that everything must be done in time:
(recitative) , caress,
And hug and comb your hair.
Write a report, report,
Clean up, sing and dance.
(end of recitative)
Yes, I'm a teacher, which means
That children were not entrusted to us in vain,
And we will educate them and caress them,
And it's not difficult for us, to be honest.
Yes, I am a teacher, yes, a teacher,
And even though our salary is small,
We are enthusiasts and dreamers,
And we will shout three times:
"Hurrah!", "Hurrah!", "Hurrah!".

Songs-alterations at the celebration of the Day of the Educator and Preschool Worker can be performed by other employees of this institution (to the motive of "A stream flows", music by A. Kostyuk).

1. The children have grown up, you have not grown old,
You are always busy with children without getting tired.
And wipe your nose, sing a song,
Everything is more interesting with you in the world.

Chorus:
A stream flows, autumn has come,
You always have the same things to do.
Water flows, water runs,
You are always educators!

2. We'll say thank you from a pure heart,
We'll raise a glass of sparkling wine.
We wish you many happy years,
Please accept sincere and ardent greetings!

Chorus:
Let the water run, let the water flow,
Come here for the holiday.
A stream flows, water runs,
Let the kindergarten always be!

Teachers are with me here both in summer and in winter,
Well, we live in our garden! (repeat the last 2 lines 2 times)
If you want to know a lot, know a lot, know a lot,

They run, fly, leave, whoever is not lazy.
We live, grow, laugh in front of you
And honestly admit that we love you very much!

Chorus:
You are our best teacher,
You are like our parent, friend and teacher,
The closest teacher.
You are our first mentor, a shield and nerves of steel,
Our guardian angel, you are our teacher.

2. No doubt, sometimes it is difficult for you,
But you will always make the right decision.
Forgive the little rascals that we give you heat,
You love kids, and we sing about you:
Chorus.

You dance, sing, we are at the same time.
We will hug you tightly, we will gently cling to you,
And if we leave you, then we need to remember:
