My Little Kitty (To the Tune of the Dreidal song)

and doesn’t scratch or bite!

Oh kitty, kitty, kitty you’re my favorite friend.

I love my little kitty,- with soft and shiny fur
And when I pet my kitten - she goes purr, purr, purr, purr

Oh kitty, kitty, kitty you’re my favorite friend.
Kitty, kitty, kitty together till the end.

We read....
Hat’s off for the fourth of July! By Harriet Ziefert
Fourth of July Mice by Bethany Roberts.
WOW! America! By Robert Neubecker

We sang....

Yankee Doodle went to town A-riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his hatAnd called it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle, keep it upYankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step And with the girls be handy.

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy, A Yankee Doodle, do or die;
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam's,
Born on the Fourth of July.
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart,
She's my Yankee Doodle joy.
Yankee Doodle came to London,
Just to ride the ponies;I am the Yankee Doodle Boy.

We marched...
Oh, When the Flags
To the tune When the saints go marching in
From the CD...Holiday Piggyback Songs

Oh when the flags come marching in
Oh when the flags come marching in
How we love to see our three colors
when the flags come marching in

First come red, then white, then blue
First come red, then white, then blue
How we love to see our three colors
when the flags come marching in

Oh, hear the bells come marching in
Oh, hear the bells come marching in
We ring the bells for our great nation
For the Red and White and Blue

Oh, hear the drums come marching in
Oh, hear the drums come marching in
We beat the drums for our great nation
For the Red and White and Blue

Oh, hear the horns come marching in
Oh, hear the horns come marching in
We toot the horns for our great nation
For the Red and White and Blue


Other songs to sing....
Also From the CD...Holiday Piggyback Songs

July Fourth is coming
To the tune pop goes the weasel

July the Fourth is coming
And I can hardly wait.
There’ll be lots of fireworks.
Time to celebrate
America’s independence
A very special day.
We’ll wave our flags and watch parades.
Happy Birthday U.S.A


On Independence Day
To the tune Mary had a little lamb

Fireworks go Snap, snap, snap!
Crack, crack, crack! Zap, zap, zap!
Fireworks make me clap, clap, clap!
On Independence Day!
