Stories We Shared
I only shared one story today, and while I was planning on singing it, the kids INSISTED it was a book so I had to read it. It was very hard to read it, and I ended up doing it in a sing-song. We read an old favorite of mine, that I wish wasn't out of print. Little White Duck illustrated by Jean Paley.
(I also have a flannel for this when I use it as a song, but since we didn't sing it I didn't pull out the flannel. Because I love it, I'm sharing it below as well.)
Songs and Flannels We Shared
We sang lots of songs today! But singing is FUN! And since most of the songs had flannels, I'm combining this category into one today.
We sang:
3(5) Little Ducks
Three little ducks went out one day Over the hill and far away
Mama duck said, “Quack, quack, quack, quack,” but only two little ducks came back…
Two little ducks went out one day Over the hill and far away
Mama duck said, “Quack, quack, quack, quack,” but only one little duck came swimming back…
One little duck went out one day Over the hill and far away
Mama duck said, “Quack, quack, quack, quack,” but no little ducks came back…
Sad Mama duck went out one day, Over the hill and far away
Mama duck said, “Quack, quack, quack, quack,” and all of the ducks came back.
Six little ducks That I once knew
Fat ones, skinny ones, Fair ones, too
But the one little duck With the feather on his back
He led the others With a quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, Quack, quack, quack
He led the others With a quack, quack, quack
Down to the river They would go
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble, To and fro
But the one little duck With the feather on his back
He led the others With a quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, Quack, quack, quack
He led the others With a quack, quack, quack
Back from the river They would come
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble, Ho, hum, ho
But the one little duck With the feather on his back
He led the others With a quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, Quack, quack, quack
He led the others With a quack, quack, quack
(We used this flannel for both duck songs!)
Five green and speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs (yum yum!)
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were four green speckled frogs (gulp gulp!)
4...3...2...1
Then there were no green speckled frogs!
Tiny Tim
I had a little Turtle,
His name was Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub,
To see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water
He ate up all the soap.
And now he's sick in bed,
With bubbles in his throat.
Bubble, Bubble, Bubble,
Bubble, Bubble, Bubble,
Bubble, Bubble, Bubble
Bubble, Bubble, Pop!
Itsy Bitsy Spider
And we didn't use this flannel, but I love it so much that I am sharing it. :)
Early Literacy Tips We Shared
- Aside from being fun, singing songs with your child helps them hear words being broken up into smaller sounds.
- Singing is a good way for children to become aware of the different sounds that make up words. This is called phonological awareness.
