Up pop the flowers (to the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel", from Hummingbird Educational Resources)
We plant some seeds in the dirt. (pretend to plant seeds)
The rain falls in a shower. (raise arms and wiggle fingers to ground)
The sun comes out and what do you know? (squat down)
Up pop the flowers! (jump up)

If You're a Tree and You Know It
If you're a tree and you know it grow up high. (reach high)
If you're a tree and you know it grow up high.
If you're a tree and you know it and you really want to show it,
If you're a tree and you know it grow up high. 
Other verses include: Touch your roots (touch toes), and Wave Your Leaves (wave arms)


Can you shake along with me? (from Jbrary)
Can you shake along with me,
Along with me, Along with me?
Can you shake along with me?
Put your shaker (under or over) your (insert body part)!

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)

Craft: We made "rainbows" by coloring coffee filters with markets and wetting them with a water bottle.

Literacy tip of the week: Directional words are important to reinforce because they will be used often when kids are learning to write letters and words.
