Book read:
Parade of Elephants by Kevin Henkes
The elephants go marching (version of the Ants Go Marching)
The elephants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah!
The elephants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah!
The elephants go marching one by one, the little one stops, says "This is fun!"
And they all go marching down to the ground, to get out of the rain.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Other verses (two: stops to tie shoe, three: stops to rest under the tree)
If you're an elephant and you know it
Dancing Animals (from Librarian Lisa's Storytimes)
This is the way the bunnies hop,
The bunnies hop,
This is the way the bunnies hop,
So early in the morning!
(Other actions can include any other animal and accompanying movement)
Twinkle Stars (from King County Library)
Twinkle, twinkle, little stars (wiggle fingers)
Stand and twinkle where you are (stand and wiggle fingers)
Twinkle high and twinkle low (hands in air then at your feet)
Twinkle fast and twinkle slow (shake hands fast then slowly)
Twinkle, twinkle little stars
Now sit and twinkle where you are (sit down)
Craft: We colored a elephant template from the Ready to Read programming guide.
Literacy tip: Learning about shapes help prepare children to differentiate between letters.
