Monster Pokey (to the tune of the Hokey Pokey, from Storytime with Miss Mollie)
You put your claws in, you take your claws out.
You put your claws in and you shake them all about.
You do the wild rumpus and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!

There's a Spider on the Floor (from Mel's Desk)
There's a spider on the floor, on the floor...
There's a spider on my leg, on my leg...
There's a spider on my tummy, and he feels kind of funny...
There's a spider on my head, my face is really red...
But he jumps off!

Literacy tip of the week: Stories that can be sung, such as "If You're A Monster and You Know It" are a great way to incorporate singing into reading time. Singing helps slow down parts of language so your child can begin to recognize the parts that make up words.
