Community Helper Performances-Tuesday, January 24th-VHC and VBS Classes 2017
To top off our community helper unit, the Very Hungry Caterpillar and the Very Busy Spider classes will be holding a special performance of the songs they learned throughout our community helper unit. The performances are scheduled as follows:
Tuesday, January 24th
Very Hungry Caterpillars-11:30 a.m.
Very Busy Spiders-2:30 p.m.
All performances will take place in the sanctuary.
We are happily beginning to put together our community helper performances and would like your help. We are asking you to outfit your child in appropriate attire to match the occupation he or she is assigned for our performance. (This does not need to be anything fancy). We would also like you to help your child learn the song, which goes with his or her occupation. (Songs after assignments, at the bottom of the page.) We have talked about many of these occupations, and have let the students know that this is not what they have to be when they grow up, it’s just a part for our show. Thanks so much for your help!

Fireman Matt, Fireman Matt, see how he works, see how he works, when there is a fire he’s there on the spot, with hoses and ladders and his dog Dot, fireman Matt, fireman Matt.
Policeman Rusty

I like policeman Rusty,
He helps me every day,
When crossing the street,

I’m safely on my way!
The Teacher Song

The teacher likes to teach, likes to teach.
The teacher likes to teach, likes to teach.
The teacher likes to teach their class the ABC’s,
The teacher likes to teach, likes to teach.
The Mail Truck Song
(She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain)
They’ll be coming in their mail trucks when they come.
They’ll be coming in their mail trucks when they come.
They’ll be coming in their mail trucks, They’ll be coming in their mail trucks,
They’ll be coming in their mail trucks when they come.
Down at the Garbage Dump
(Down at the Station)
Down at the dump early in the morning,
See the garbage trucks standing in a row.
Watch them dump the garbage in a great big pile,
DUMP, DUMP, DUMP, DUMP, watch them go.
Dr. Wendy the Dentist
(Rudolph)
Dr. Wendy the dentist, helps me keep my teeth so white.
Dr. Wendy the dentist, teaches me to brush just right.
Dr. Wendy the dentist, always wears a super smile.
Dr. Wendy the dentist, I’ll be your friend a long, long while!
I’m Happy I am a Doctor

I help to make people well.
I’m happy I am a doctor.
It makes me feel just swell.

The artist likes to paint.
The artist likes to paint and draw, and to create.

It is fun to be a cook, be a cook, be a cook.
It is fun to be a cook and cook food all day!
