Name Song:
Choo Choo, Choo Choo, up the railroad track,
Choo Choo, Choo Choo, then we come right back.
First we go to ______’s house,
Then we go to ________’s house, Then we go to ________’s house,
Then we come right back.
Book: The Itsy Bitsy Spider by Iza Trapani
Finger Rhyme: Itsy Bitsy Spider (spider on plastic straw taped to a cardstock image of a house)
The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again
Book: Big Bug by Henry Cole (plastic bugs)
Scarf Song: (tune: The Wheels on the Bus)
The fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish, swish … All day long
The crabs in the sea go back and forth
The waves in the sea go up and down
Flannelboard Rhyme: 5 Little Honeybees
ONE little bee flew and flew
He met a friend, and that made TWO.
Two little bees, busy as could be—
Along came another, and that made THREE.
Three little bees, wanted one more,
Found one soon, and that made FOUR.
Four little bees, going to the hive.
Spied their little brother, and that made FIVE.
Five little bees, working every hour—
Buzz away, bees, and find another flower.
Goodbye Song:
The more we get together, together, together,
The more we get together the happier we’ll be.
For your friends are my friends, and my friends are your friends,
The more we get together the happier we’ll be.

17, 18, 19 big bubbles… 20 big bubbles go POP, POP, POP!
20 big bubbles go POP, POP, POP!
