Bumpin' up and down in my little space shuttle (from Jbrary)
Bumpin' up and down in my little space shuttle,
Bumpin' up and down in my little space shuttle,
Bumpin' up and down in my little space shuttle,
Won't you go to the moon with me?

Other verses:
My space suit's on and my boots are too...
We step on the moon and we bounce up and down...

We're Flying to the Moon (Verse 1 and 2, from Preschool Education )
We're flying to the moon,
We're flying to the moon,
Blast off, away we go,
We're flying to the moon!

We're landing on the moon,
We're landing on the moon,
Blast off, away we go,
We're landing on the moon!

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)

5 Little Stars
In the night sky, as dark as can be 5 (4,3,2,1) little stars shone down on me/
The sun started rising turning night into day, and one little star twinkled away!

Literacy tip of the week: Ask your child questions about the pictures as you read books to them. This can help engage your child in the story. It will also allow you to make sure they understand what is going on in the book.

Craft:
We made spaceships!
