Hello Song

Hello! Hello!

Hello, and how are you?

I'm fine! I'm fine!

And I hope that you are too!

Get the Wiggles Out!

Two littel feet go tap, tap tap

Two little hands go clap, clap, clap

One little body jumps up in the air

Two little arms reach way up there

Two little feet go jump, jump, jump

Two little fists go thump, thump, thump

One little body spins round and round

And one little child sits quietly down

Storytime

"Spring is Here" by Will Hillenbrand
Have the children make the sounds and motions that Mole does.

"Opposnakes: A lift the flap book about opposites" by Salina Yoon

Activity

Opposites - talk to the children about opposites in the book. Then play a game. Place one item on the board and have them guess the opposite. (I printed out pictures, laminated them and placed magnets on the back so the pictures can be attached to a cookie sheet.)

Story Time Resumes

"The Cow Loves Cookies" by Karma Wilson

Have the chant along saying "The cow loves cookies!"

Farm Chores Song

(to the tune of Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush)
This is the way we mow the hay,
mow the hay, mow the hay
This is the way we mow the hay so early in the morning.

Repeat with feed the chicks, milk the cows, plant the seeds, brush the horse...

One Last Book

"Look Book" by Tana Hoban

Have the children try to guess what the full image will be.

Goodbye

Our hands say thank you with a clap, clap, clap
Out feet say thank you with a tap, tap tap
Now reach up very high
And wave goodbye!
