Lyrics

When I grow up
I wanna be an astronaut
Take a walk on the moon with my pet robot
Take a rocket ship and just fly away

When I grow up
I wanna be a fireman
Putting out those fires anywhere I can
Saving kittens out of trees on a sunny day

When I grow up, up, up
I can be whatever I want, want, want you'll see
Oh I know, I can be anything

When I grow up, up, up, up (Hey)
When I grow up, up, up, up (Hey)
When I grow up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up, up

When I grow up
I wanna wear a stethoscope
Helping all those people that have sore throats
Gonna chase those icky gross germs away
Yeah yeah

When I grow up
I'll take care of monkeys at the zoo
All the hippos and the pandas and the penguins, too
Oh I can't wait

When I grow up, up, up
I can be whatever I want, want, want you'll see
Oh I know, I can be anything

When I grow up, up, up, up (Hey)
When I grow up, up, up, up (Hey)
When I grow up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up, up

Until then I'll do my best to make good grades

When I grow up, up, up
I can be whatever I want, want, want you'll see
Oh I know, I can be anything

When I grow up, up, up, up (Hey)
When I grow up, up, up, up (Hey)
When I grow up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up, up

When I grow up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up, up

When I grow up, up, up, up (Hey)
When I grow up, up, up, up (Hey)
When I grow up, up, up, up (Hey)
When I grow up, up, up, up (Hey)

Unit 10-Actions

 

Dear K1 Dora Parents,

As we approach the end of the school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the tremendous growth our K1 students have made—both socially and academically. It has been a joy to witness their development over the past months.

We are now concluding our final unit in the Dora books with Lesson 10, which focuses on verbs—action words such as walk, jump, clap, and dance. In addition to these, students will be introduced to many more action verbs as we continue expanding our vocabularies through engaging songs and lively chants. These activities not only reinforce language learning but also celebrate how far the students have come in their speaking and comprehension skills.

Our class is also working diligently to prepare for the upcoming song contest. The children have been practicing three songs with great enthusiasm, and I am truly impressed by their clarity, pronunciation, and growing confidence. Their speaking accuracy has improved remarkably, and it is evident that they are applying what they've learned in meaningful and joyful ways.

It has been a true honor to be part of your child’s academic journey in K1. I am so proud of each and every student for their progress and their bright, eager spirits; I am excited to see what the future holds for each of them academically.

Songs and Chants for Practice

 Dear Parents of K1,

The K1 Penguin Class has begun practicing our three selected songs for the upcoming singing competition. The children are very excited and already recognize the lyrics, as we have introduced these songs in previous lessons.

To help your child feel confident and prepared, we kindly ask that you support them by listening and singing along with the songs at home. They truly enjoy the music and are eager to perform.

I am so proud of each and every one of them. They are a bright, enthusiastic group of young learners, and it's a joy to see their confidence and love for singing grow each day.

Thank you for your continued support!

Unit 9 Pets

 Unit 9: Caring for Pets and Learning About Animals

In Unit 9, our K1 students will be exploring the theme of pets and animal care. Through engaging lessons, they will learn key vocabulary words such as dog, cat, fish, and rabbit. In addition, we will introduce them to farm animals, including sheep, cow, horse, and duck, to broaden their understanding of the animal world.

As part of this unit, students will also begin to understand the responsibilities that come with caring for a pet. They will learn about the basic needs of animals — water, food, and shelter — and why it is important to meet these needs to keep pets healthy and happy.

To reinforce their learning, we will use a variety of songs, chants, and interactive activities that will help students recognize animal names and develop language skills in a fun and memorable way. This unit aims to build not only vocabulary but also a sense of empathy and responsibility as students learn about how to care for living things.

We look forward to seeing the students’ excitement and curiosity as they explore this meaningful topic.

Unit 8 Snacks

 Dear Parents of K1 Dora,

We are excited to begin our new unit titled "Snack Time" in the K1 Dora class. This unit will introduce and reinforce vocabulary related to common snacks, including milk, apples, carrots, and cookies.

As part of our language development goals, we will encourage students to recognize and name these items and use them in complete sentences. For example:

• I drink milk.

• I eat apples, carrots, and cookies.

• May I have a cookie?

• May I have some cookies, some carrots, or a slice of apple?

In addition, students will learn and practice polite conversational phrases such as:

• Here you are.

• Thank you.

• Do you like…?

• Yes, I do. / No, I don’t.

These sentence patterns and polite expressions help build confidence and encourage the use of everyday English in meaningful contexts.

We look forward to seeing our young learners grow in both their vocabulary and spoken communication skills through fun, hands-on activities and engaging practice.

Here are some fun chants to incorporate in their activities too.

Thank you for your continued support!

Unit 7 Feelings/Emotions

 

Happy Song

This is a happy face 

Dear K1 Dora Parents,

I am excited to share that this week our K1 class will begin Unit 7: Feelings, where we will explore and learn new vocabulary to help students express their emotions. The key words we will focus on are happy, sad, sleepy, and hungry. We will also extend the vocabulary to include tired and angry.

Our goal is for the children to confidently express how they are feeling each day. I will be regularly asking, "How are you feeling today?" to encourage them to share their emotions and the reasons behind them. This practice will help promote language development while also fostering an environment where the students feel secure and comfortable expressing themselves.

To further support this, we will incorporate songs and chants related to feelings and emotions during our daily lessons. These fun activities will reinforce the vocabulary and make learning about feelings an enjoyable experience.

We look forward to seeing our K1 students grow in their ability to communicate how they feel and develop greater self-awareness.

Let's Sing Together!

 

Yes, I Can!

Dear K1 Parents,

We are excited to inform you that the K1 class will be participating in a Singing Competition in the coming weeks! This event presents a wonderful opportunity for your children to showcase their growing confidence, musical skills, and teamwork in front of an audience.

 

To prepare for the competition, we will be practicing the selected songs during our lessons. However, we kindly ask for your support and encouragement at home to help your child feel even more prepared and confident. Practicing at home, even for just a few minutes each day, will greatly contribute to their performance and overall experience.

 

Here are a few ways you can support your child’s preparation:

Encourage regular practice: Singing the competition songs at home can help boost their confidence and familiarity with the lyrics and rhythm.

 

Create a positive environment: Praise your child's efforts and let them know you’re proud of their hard work, no matter the outcome of the competition.

 

We believe that this competition will be a fun and enriching experience for the children, and your involvement plays a key role in their success. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to your child’s learning journey.

 

If you have any questions or need further details about the competition, please feel free to reach out to me.

 

Warm regards,

K1 Teaching Team
