Dream Team
by Sylvie, Vivian, Ginny, Sanai, Logan, and Hazael
with assistance from Anna Reidister
We can play together
No matter what the weather
Whether we win or lose
You know I'll be there for
You may be different from me
But I want you on my team
It's a team effort to learn
Everyone gets a turn
Anyone can score a goal
Everybody has a role
You may be different from me
But I want you on my…
Dream team

Dream team
You may be different from me
But I want you on my team
You may be different from me
But I want you on my team
Energy of the People
By Naya, Margot, Amira, Amina, and Isaac with assistance from Rafael Natan
We feel the energy of the people,
We feel the energy of the people,
Being included means someone to play with,
Fuzzy blankets and pink lemonade
Downstairs there’s no gossip. (no gossip)
We are kind to others (to others)
We share pancakes with cookies and cream
Making fresh eggs, on the stove.
We feel the energy of the people,
We feel the energy of the people,
Being included means someone to play with,
Fuzzy blankets and pink lemonade
We can be together, (together)
Invite each other to sit (to sit down)
Include each other in friends’ games
We hear someone, say something nice.
We feel the energy of the people…
I Don’t Wanna Be Left Out
By Vallery, Nora, Kayla, Ezequiel, and Ibrahim with assistance from Sarika Rao
I asked someone to be my friend and they ignored me
It was so sad, I fell and people laughed (Ha ha ha ha)
I was talking in class and people had side chats
I was confused, I felt excluded and sad
I don’t wanna be left out
If I play with you, will you play with me
I don’t wanna be left out
If I include you, will you include me
In everything
I asked someone to be my friend and they said yes
It was so fun, we played together and laughed (Ha ha ha ha)
I was talking in class and people were listening
It was so nice, I felt included and glad
I don’t wanna be left out
If I play with you, will you play with me
I don’t wanna be left out
If I include you, will you include me
In everything
The Feeling Good Song
By Ada, Jojo, Jack, Mason, and Evan with assistance from Bithyah Israel
Feeling included is important
For everyone
Feeling included is important
Together forever
When I’m included, I feel good,
So so good
When I’m included, I feel good,
So so good
‘Cause feeling included is important
For everyone
Feeling included is important
Together forever
When you’re not included and you feel left out,
Ask if you can play don’t have a doubt,
When you’re not included and you feel left out,
Ask if you can play don’t have a doubt,
‘Cause feeling included is important
For everyone
Feeling included is important
Together forever
Don’t forget you have a choice
Don’t forget you have a voice,
Don’t forget you have a choice
Don’t forget you have a voice,
‘Cause feeling included is important
For everyone
Feeling included is important
Together forever
It’s important that you feel included
It’s important that you feel included
Thank you for helping me feel included!
Super Bunny
by Hana, Nolan, Mavis, Shalissa, Kassiani
with assistance from Anna Reidister
Even though he is a rabbit
And likes to chomp on carrots
Whenever there is trouble
Ziggy’s there on the double
Have you ever seen a bunny in a cape?
Heroes can take any shape
Any bunny can be a hero
Anybody can be a hero
You may not think he’s much
But Ziggy’s got the stuff
He doesn’t look like you or me
But he will save your family
Have you ever seen a bunny in a cape?
Heroes can take any shape
Any bunny can be a hero
Anybody can be a hero
Any bunny can be a hero
Anybody can be a hero
Sunny in the Morning
By Marie, Antares, Z’nyla, Jordan, and Mohana with assistance from Rafael Natan
I will play with others
If they’re lonely
I will play with others if they’re sad
I will not touch others
Without consent,
I will play with others
If they play with me.
Sunny in the morning open lemonade,
I sip the lemonade in the stand,
I see somebody feeling sad
And I give them lemonade
To make them happy.
I will play with others
If they’re lonely
I will play with others if they’re sad
I will not touch others
Without consent,
I will play with others
If they play with me.
Everybody Say “Woohoo!”
By Avery, Hezekiah, Maria, Haley, and Amare with Assistance from Sarika Rao
Inclusion, it makes me happy
Encourages me to include other friends
Come play with us, let’s make it happen
Inclusion should never end
Inclusion, inclusion, oh oh oh
Inclusion, inclusion, oh oh oh
Inclusion, inclusion, oh oh oh
Inclusion, inclusion, oh oh oh
You should always be included by everyone
Include others even if they don’t include you
You should always be included by everyone
Inclusion makes everybody say “woohoo!”
Inclusion, inclusion, oh oh oh
Inclusion, inclusion, oh oh oh
Inclusion, inclusion, oh oh oh
Inclusion, inclusion, oh oh oh oh
Donkey Song
Folk Song with new words from the entire Classroom Cantatas Mendell classes.
Donkeys Like to Munch on Carrots
Carrots don’t like that at all
Hee haw hee haw
Listen to the donkeys call.
Carrots form a revolution
Donkeys just eat what they need,
We’re free, we’re free,
Carrots protect everyone!
Donkeys build a house for Carrots
Carrots really love their friends
Yay yay yay yay
Carrots celebrate their home.
Spongebob builds a house for donkeys
Donkeys play inside their home.
Hee Haw Hee Haw
Carrots build the pineapple
Ancient Dragon throws a party
Everyone’s invited
Balloons live balloons live, Everyone flies to the wild.
