Book read: 
The Underpants Zoo by Brian Sendelbach

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Underwear (from Miss Sarah's Storytime)
Head, shoulders, knees and underwear!
Head, shoulders, knees and underwear!
Eyes and ears and mouth and underwear!
Head, shoulders, knees and underwear!

Here we go up, up, up (from Reading With Red)
Here we go up, up, up! (reach up)
Here we go down, down, down! (touch floor)
Here we go back and forth! (sway side to side)
And here we go round and round! (turn around)

Up and down (from Storytime Katie)
Put your arms up,
Put your arms down,
Put them through the middle and move them all around.
One arm to the left,
And one arm to the right.
Give yourself a hug and hold on tight!

The Grand Old Duke of York
The grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men.
He marched them up to the top of the hill (lift arms in the air)
And he marched them down again (touch ground)
And when they're up, they're up. (lift arms)
And when they're down they're down. (touch ground)
But when they're only halfway up (raise hands halfway)
They're neither up nor down. (reach up then down)

Leaky Umbrella by Jim Gill

Rain on the grass (with scarves, from Jbrary)

Rain on the grass (wave on ground)

Rain on the tree (wave in air)

Rain on the roof (put hands above head)

But not on me! (hands over head)

Literacy tip of the week: Directional concepts such as up and down are important when you child learns to write.
