Book read: Not a Box by Antoinette Portis

Waves at the Beach (to the tune of "Wheels on the Bus") (from Preschool Education)
The waves at the beach go up and down, up and down, (move up and down)
The waves at the beach go up and down, all day long.

Other verses:
The crabs at the beach crawl back and forth, (crawl)
The lobsters at the beach go snap, snap, snap, (clap hands together)
The jellyfish at the beach go wibble, wobble wobble, (sway back and forth)

Fly Dragon Fly (modified from Johnson County Library, to the tune of "Skip to My Lou")
Fly, fly, fly dragon fly!
Fly, fly, fly dragon fly!
Fly, fly, fly dragon fly!
Fly around with me! 

Dragon Pokey (version of Hokey Pokey)
You put your right claw in,
You put your right claw out,
You put  your right claw in,
And you shake it all about,
You do the Dragon Pokey
and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about.
(other verses can include left claw, tail, dragon self, etc)

Little Fox, Little Fox

Little Fox, Little Fox

Are you in the (insert color) box?

Put your hands up high (from 2016 CSLP Manual)
Put your hands up high,
Put your hands down low,
Put your hands to the side,
And wiggle just so.
Put your elbows to the front.
Put your elbows in back.
Put your elbows to the side,
And "Quack, Quack, Quack!"

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Literacy tip of the week: Flannelboards can be adapted just like songs. Little Fox is a twist on "Little Mouse, Little Mouse" and is a great way to reinforce rhyming and teach colors.
