ASL sign of the week: Duck

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) 

If you're a duck and you know it 

I'm a little ducky (to the tune of "I'm a little teapot", not sure where I originally found it)
I'm a little ducky, feathered and sleek.
Here is my tail. (wiggle bottom)
Here is my beak. (point to nose)
When the rain falls on me (wiggle fingers for rain)
I'm ok. (thumbs up)
Because those raindrops roll away (roll hands) 

Shake, Shake, Shake (to the tune of "Do your ears hang low?", from Storytimes and More)
Can you shake your egg up high?
Can you shake your egg down low?
Can you shake it side to side?
Can you shake it by your toe?
Can you shake it really fast?
Can you shake it really slow?
Can you shake your egg? 

Shake your shaker (to the tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm", from Library Village)
Shake your shaker in the air, shake it in the air.
With a shake shake here, and a shake shake there.
Shake your shaker in the air, shake it in the air.

Shake your shaker way down low, shake it way down low.
With a shake shake here, and a shake shake there.
Shake your shaker way down low, shake it way down low.
Additional verses could include way up high, side to side, etc.

Craft: We decorated a "D for Duck" printable with feathers.

Literacy tip of the week: As you read to your child run your fingers along the text occasionally. This will help them learn that English is read from left to right.
