We Sang...
Oh, I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
'Cause I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee
--Buzzy, buzzy, buzzy --(spoken): OOOOH, it bit me!

Oh, I'm bringing home a baby rattlesnake
Won't my mommy shiver and shake
'Cause I'm bringing home a baby rattlesnake
--Rattle, rattle, rattle --(spoken): OOOOH, it bit me!

Oh, I'm bringing home a baby turtle Won't my mommy really pop her girdle
'Cause I'm bringing home a baby turtle
Snappy, snappy, snappy --(spoken): OOOOH, it bit me!

Oh, I'm bringing home a baby dinosaur
Won't my mommy fall right through the floor
'Cause I'm bringing home a baby dinosaur
--Gobble, gobble, gobble --(spoken): OOOOH, it ate me!

I'm not bringing home any babies
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
I'm not bringing home any babies
And my mom is so proud of me!

10 Fat Turkeys! By Tony Johnston

We Sang...

Song- Thanksgiving Day(To the Tune of: Mulberry Bush)
This is the day for giving thanks, Giving thanks, giving thanks.
This is the day for giving thanks,Celebrate Thanksgiving!

This is the day for thanking those Who give us food and give us clothes.
This is the day a "thank you" goes To family on Thanksgiving!

This is the day for thanking friends,On friendship, everyone depends.
This is the day our thanks extend To friends on Thanksgiving!

This is the day the Pilgrims ate,And with the Indians shared their plate.
This is the day we commemorate The very first Thanksgiving!

This is the day to be sincere,Giving thanks that we are here.
In November every year We celebrate Thanksgiving!


Song- Albuquerque turkey(To the Tune of: Clementine) With a visit from Albuquerque himself!
Albuquerque, he's my turkey, and he's feathered and
he's fine and he wobbles and he gobbles and
I'm awfully glad he's mine.
He's the best pet you could ever get
Better than a dog or cat Albuquerque,
he's my turkey And I'm awfully glad of that.
Albuquerque, he's my turkey he's so cozy in his bed
Because for our Thanksgiving dinner We had scrambled eggs instead!

We Read....

Alice the Fairy by David Shannon

We sang....
If I was a troll, a Fairy, a dragon!
-to the tune Head, shoulders, knees & toes

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
Eyes, and ears, and mouth and nose.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.

If I was a troll, was a troll
If I was a troll, was a troll
I’d have horns and a mole on my nose
If I was a troll, was a troll


If I was a fairy, was a fairy
If I was a fairy, was a fairy
I’d have wings and fly through the air
If I was a fairy, was a fairy

If I was a dragon, was a dragon
If I was a dragon, was a dragon
I’d have scales and fiery breath
If I was a dragon, was a dragon

Spoken- But I’m a person, so all I have is…

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
Eyes, and ears, and mouth and nose.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
