The Little EngineThat Could --- the musical!!

All of our kindergarten students are busy learning a musical during Performing Arts time that we can't wait to perform for you all in March! We are needing a little help at home in learning script lines. If you could take the time soon to practice your child's line with him/her so that s/he knows it well, it would be much appreciated. Please see below:

ALL STUDENTS will say the following lines:

  1. Oh, no!  Our train is broken.  What shall we do?  We need another engine to push us over the mountain.
  2. Clickety clack! Clickety clack!
  3. All the while, the children in the Chittagong Village Station were waiting and waiting for Happy Train.
  4. The train, the train, is very, very late! It’s bringing food and toys. It’s hard for us to wait!
  5. HOORAY, HOORAY FOR THE BRAVE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD SING US OVER THE MOUNTAIN!
    ________________________________________________________
     
    Zoe: The hopeful Train Conductor waved the red flag and the wheels on Happy Train wiggled and jiggled with happy anticipation. 

    Nezar:  Big Important Engine hissed and stopped.

    Big Important Engine (angrily):  Why did you stop me?

    Lola:  Big Important Engine huffed and puffed out gritty clouds of gray smoke.  

    Amirah: And with another puff of steam, “Psssshoooooo”, the freight engine pounded away.

    Levi: How disappointing!  The Train Conductor and everyone were very worried that no engine will help push us over the mountain. 

    Alfred: They knew that all the boys and girls on the other side of the mountain were waiting for them.
    Ilmeeyat: Then, in the distance, there was a NEW sound on the track - a very small, cheerful sound.

    Noah: Down the track came Little Engine.  

    Train Conductor:  Too bad.  That engine is way too small to push us over the mountain.

    Gabriel:  The Train Conductor didn’t even wave the red flag for the engine to stop,  but that little engine stopped anyway.  

    Little Engine:  Is something wrong?

    The Train Conductor:  Our engine is broken.  We are hoping that a big engine will come and push us over the mountain.

    Little Engine:  I am not big, but I will try to push you. Sometimes when I need a lot of power, I sing a special song to make me stronger.  It goes like this:

    Ayushi:  We don’t think you can do it, but you can try.

    Taya:  Little Engine slowly connected with Happy Train.  

    Sukanya: It pushed and pushed and pushed!  Slowly, as they moved up the mountain, Little Engine said,

    Little Engine: I need more power.  Please, EVERYBODY, sing the song with me!

    Adrian: Up, up the mountain Little Engine pushed Happy Train - up to the very top!  

    Ihsan: And then down, down the mountain they easily chugged.

    Zara:  There were the happy children, waiting for them in the Chittagong Village Station.  

    Hanna: Happy Train was very happy to be there.  Everyone shouted...
