Theme:

GREEN

I Read...

Today Everyone is Irish…By Kathy Buchsbaum
The wide-mouthed frog by Keith Faulkner

We had a puppet story:
Go Away Big Green Monster by Ed Emberely

We Sang:

I'm looking over a four-leaf clover

I'm looking over a four-leaf clover
That I overlooked before.
One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain,
Third is the roses that grow in the lane.
No need explaining, the one remainingIs somebody I adore.I
'm looking over a four-leaf clover
That I overlooked before

I’ve got a clover and I’ll hold it over
My head and shake it all around
I’ll put it on my elbow, I’ll put it on my knee
I’ll put it on my back and my tummy if you please
I’ve got a clover and I’ll hold it over
My head and shake it all around
I’ve got a clover, but now the dance is over
So I’ll put it on the ground!

Five Green and Speckled frogs

Five green and speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs
YUM YUM
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Then there were four green and speckled frogs
GLUB GLUB

Count down from 5.

CATS!!

I Had me a Cat
My cat pleased me,
I fed my cat under yonder tree.
Cat goes fiddle-i-fee
I had a hen . . . chimmy-chuck, chimmy-chuck

We Sang...

I am a Pizza by Charlotte Diamond
From the CD 10 Carrot Diamond

I am a pizza
With extra cheese
From tomatoes
Sauce is squeezed
Onions and mushrooms
Oregano
I am a pizza, ready to go

I am a pizza
Pepperoni
No anchovies
Or phony bologna
I am a pizza
Order by phone
I am a pizza, please take me home

I am a pizza
Peppers on top
Out of the oven
Into the box

Into the car and
Upside down
I am a pizza, dropped on the ground

I was a pizza
I was the best
I was a pizza
Now I’m a mess!

We Danced...
