Opening Song-
Everybody say one, story
time has just began
Everybody say two, shake
your shoulders show your shoes
Everybody say three,
listen very carefully
Everybody say four, and
put your bottoms on the floor
Wiggles
A wiggle, wiggle here
A wiggle, wiggle there.
Wiggle your hands up in
the air
Wiggle our shoulders and
wiggle your hips,
Wiggle your knees and move
your lips,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
And wiggle and bend
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
And this is the end!
Book: I Love You Just The Way You Are by Tammi Salzano/ I Love Dogs! by Sue Stainton & Bob Staake.
I read the first book with our Tuesday group and it didn't capture their attention, so I thought dogs might be more fun specially when you have dogs in all shapes & colors.
Rhyme: Your Little Hands
Take your
little hands and go clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap,
clap with your hands.
Take your
little toes and go tap, tap, tap…
Tap, tap,
tap with your toes.
Take your
little ears and go wiggle, wiggle, wiggle….
Take your little
eyes and go blink, blink, blink…
Take your
little arms and go roll, roll, roll…

this is no, no, no

Goodbye Song- We Wave Goodbye Like
This
We wave goodbye like this,
We wave goodbye like this,

We clap our hands like
