Song Lyrics –
No New Year’s Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here’s just another ordinary day
No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No summer’s high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
of my heart
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
baby of my heart
Description of the Ribbon Segment that the Children Made – The children painted butcher paper and bubble wrap. Then they made loops to connect the two materials.
The Penguins learning group prepared for the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.
They gathered together in the classrooms with their parents and teachers and prepared to get in the buggies and strollers for the big trip across the street to our other center for the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.
They were joined by their parent and family member chaperones and crossed the street from our SF City Building Center to join the other children, teachers, and families in the CA State Building Center’s Great Hall.
The group triumphantly entered the Great Hall to the musical theme from Masterpiece Theater, carrying their hand-made sign.
They took their place and watched the other learning groups enter with their signs and music.
The actual ribbon cutting by City-County Supervisor Matt Haney was exciting and opened up the big screen on the Festival of Learning Website!
