Every year the students, staff, and parents gather during a school assembly and sing winter themed music for 30 minutes. It rocks. This is one of my favorite events because it involves the whole community. Each year I struggle with having enough space for everyone.
The way this sing-a-long works is that each grade learns (memorizes) one of the winter songs. Then each grade stands and leads the singing of that song. I don't rotate them on the stage due to time constraints and space issues. I also have sprinkled in some all school sings (no one stands.) The choir kicks off the sing with a short performance.
Most of the songs are Winter themed (not holiday themed.) I have a diverse population of students, and our classroom parties are themed for winter as well.
