Mrs. Bilsky’s
First Grade Class
Autumn
Tune: London Bridges
Windy breezes, blow around,
Blow around, blow around.
Windy breezes, blow around in the autumn.
Autumn leaves come tumbling down,
Tumbling down, tumbling down.
Autumn leaves come tumbling down,
On the ground.
Take a rake and pile them up,
Pile them up, pile them up.
Take a rake and pile them up,
And jump right in!
September
Tune: Sing a Song of Sixpence
September is the month
When summer turns to fall.
Vacation time is over,
It’s back to school for all.
Even though I’m sad
How fast the summer ends,
I’m really glad I’ll get the chance
To meet up with my friends!
October
Tune: John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
Come rake
A giant pile of leaves,
In October when they fall!
When leaves turn red and brown,
With pumpkins all around,
Then it’s October in the fall!
Da da da da da da da!
November
Tune: Do You Know the Muffin Man
Oh, the days are growing short, (mmm-mmm)
Oh, the days are growing short,
Now that it’s November.
Let’s celebrate the harvest time, (mmm-mmm)
Let’s celebrate the harvest time,
Now that it’s November.
We’ll share a fine Thanksgiving feast, (mmm-mmm)
We’ll share a fine Thanksgiving feast,
The last Thursday of November.
Winter
Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
The snow’s falling over the meadow,
The snow’s falling over the town.
I sit by my living room window,
Just watching the snow falling down.
Snowflakes falling,
Watching the snow falling down.
Soon I’ll be building a snowman.
I’ll make it so big and so round.
But for now I’m sipping hot cocoa,
Just watching the snow falling down.
Snowflakes falling,
Watching the snow falling down.
December
Tune: Home on the Range
Bright candles shine,
On this holiday night,
As we gather with family and friends.
Soon we’ll be heard,
Singing the words
Of holiday songs once again.
Oh, December night,
In the glow of the candles so bright.
Soon we will hear
The words Happy New Year!
December’s the way the year ends.
January
Tune: Oh, Susannah
Oh, the month of January
Is the first month of the year.
On New Year’s Eve we stay up late
At midnight we all cheer.
On January 15th,
Every year I sing,
And celebrate the birth
Of Dr. Martin Luther King.
January, that’s how the year begins.
Twelve months will come and go
Before it’s New Year’s Eve again!
February
Tune: Allouette
February, yes it’s February
It’s the shortest month of the year.
Cutting out a valentine,
Oh, best friend will you be mine?
Will you be mine, Valentine?
February, yes it’s February
Every four years,
We add an extra day
Everybody did you hear?
When we do it’s called Leap Year.
Did you hear, it’s called Leap Year!
Will you be mine, Valentine?
March
Tune: The Ants Go Marching
Let’s celebrate the month of March
Hurrah, Hurrah!
The year’s third month,
The month of March
Hurrah, Hurrah!
Though the winds of March may blow,
Soon we’ll see the melting snow!
Like a lion it comes and a lamb it goes,
The lovely month of March.
Spring
Tune: Farmer in the Dell
The flowers start to grow.
The flowers start to grow.
Springtime is merry-o.
The flowers start to grow.
The bears are waking up.
The bears are waking up.
Springtime is merry-o.
The bears are waking up.
The geese fly home.
The geese fly home.
Springtime is merry-o.
The geese fly home.
April
Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
April, April is month four.
I’m so glad it’s spring once more!
I’ve heard it sung that April showers,
Always bring such pretty flowers.
April is a month in spring,
When the birds begin to sing!
May
Tune: Ta Ra Ra Boom De Ay
Hey, ho what do you say!
It is the month of May.
Have you seen the signs of Spring?
I heard a robin sing.
Let’s make a card today,
For Mom on Mother’s Day.
Hey, ho what do you say!
I like the month of May!
June

There’s nothing so fair as a day June. (mm-mm)
There’s nothing so fair as a day in June. (uh huh)

Even the frogs are croaking a tune- (mm-m) in June!
Summer vacation is finally here. (mm-mm)
Summer vacation is finally here. (mm-mm)

A very happy time of the year- (mm-mm) in June!
Fireflies flicker in the warm moonlight. (mm-mm)

Have you ever seen such a glorious sight- mm-mm in
June!
Summer
Tune: Reuben, Reuben
Summer, summer is the season,
When I love to play outside.
Swimming, hiking, playing baseball,
Going for a long bike ride.
When the winter’s finally over,
And the summer’s here to stay,
Everyone I know agreesThere’s nothing like a summer day!
July
Tune: Shoo Fly
July is summery,
July is fun for me,
July 4th’s the holiday
To celebrate our great country!

I see, I see fireworks in the sky.
High in the sky on the 4th day of July!
August
Tune: A Tisket, A Tasket
It’s August, it’s August.
Let’s pack a picnic basket,
Filled with good things to eat.
Let’s have a summer picnic!
It’s August, it’s August.
Hot lazy days in August.
We’ll have an end of summer feast,
On our picnic blanket!
Days of the Week
Tune: Wheels on the Bus
The days of the week go round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
The days of the week go round and round,
And start all over again.
The first day of the week is Monday,
Then Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
And start all over again!
Weeks and Weekends
Tune: Bingo
There are five days in every week,
And two days on the weekend.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday,
Then Saturday and Sunday.
I go to school on weekdays,
And stay home on the weekend.
Monday through Friday, busy as a bee.
Monday through Friday, as busy as can be.
Monday through Friday, a busy family.
We have fun on the weekend!
