Old McDonald Had a Farm
Cows in the Bed (adapted from I Read to Relax)There were five in the bed and the big cow said,
"MOOve over, MOOve over."
They all rolled over and one fell out.
There were four in the bed and the big cow said,
"MOOve over, MOOve over."
continue till no more cows in the bed...
There was no one in the bed and the big cow said,
"Alone at last!"
Literacy tip of the week: Making animal sounds is a great way for your child to learn to identify the parts of language. For instance the hiss of a snake is the "s" sound.
Craft:
We used our bingo daubers to make rainbow spotted cows :)
