"School Is Cool"

"School Is Cool"

by Curriculum Rocks

English

We go to school several hours a day
There’s time to learn and there’s time to play
Goin' to school (ooh, ooh, goin' to school)
Is really cool (ooh, ooh, school is cool)
Lots of other kids are there with me
We're like a great big family — Oh, school is cool

Starting to learn everything I need
Like how to add, how to write and read
Goin' to school (ooh, ooh, goin' to school)
Is really cool (ooh, ooh, school is cool)
I take my turn and learn to wait
Get there on time and don’t be late — Oh, school is cool

Sometimes we may disagree, but we can get along, anyway
Work our problems out patiently
And we learn about teamwork every single day (We work it out!)

Follow the rules and we’ll all have fun
We think our teacher is number one
Goin' to school (ooh, ooh, goin' to school)
Is really cool (ooh, ooh, school is cool)
Although I sure like everything
I think my favorite time is when we sing — Oh, school is cool

Sometimes we may disagree, but we can get along, anyway
Work our problems out patiently
And we learn about teamwork every single day (We work it out!)

We go to school several hours a day
There’s time to learn and there’s time to play
Goin' to school (ooh, ooh, goin' to school)
Is really cool (ooh, ooh, school is cool)

Like how to add, how to write and read
Follow the rules and we’ll all have fun
We think our teacher is number one
Lots of other kids are there with me
We're like a great big family — Oh, school is cool
Oh, school is cool (My brain is churning from everything I'm learning)
Oh, school is cool (Keep working harder, and I keep getting smarter)
Oh, school is cool (Later, alligator, I'm a busy first grader)
Oh, school is cool!

Vamos a la escuela varias horas al día,
hay momentos para aprender y momentos para jugar.
Ir a la escuela (ooh, ooh, ir a la escuela)
es fantástico (ooh, ooh, la escuela es fantástica).
Muchos niños están allí conmigo
somos como una gran familia ¡Oh, la escuela es fantástica!

Empiezo a aprender todo lo que necesito,
como a sumar, como a escribir y a leer.
Ir a la escuela (ooh, ooh, ir a la escuela)
es fantástico (ooh, ooh, la escuela es fantástica).
Aguardo mi turno y aprendo a esperar,
llego en horario y no me retraso ¡Oh, la escuela es fantástica!

A veces no estamos de acuerdo, pero de todos modos nos llevamos bien,
solucionamos los problemas pacientemente
y aprendemos a trabajar en equipo todos los días (¡Lo solucionamos!)

Sigue las reglas y todos nos divertiremos,
creemos que nuestra maestra es la número uno.
Ir a la escuela (ooh, ooh, ir a la escuela)
es fantástico (ooh, ooh, la escuela es fantástica).
Si bien me gusta todo
creo que mi momento favorito es cuando canto ¡Oh, la escuela es fantástica!
