February 8th, 10:15 and 11am

Opening Song: Glad to See You by Peter and Ellen Allard
"When I'm glad to see all of you, I like to clap my hands, stamp my feet, I especially like to shake my hips (wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!), I even like to nod my head, and then I like to see how many times I can blink my eyes or open and close my hands."

Book: One, Two, Buckle My Shoe by Anna Grossnickle Hines


Song: Ten Fingers by Peter and Ellen Allard
Fingers go shut, open, on your head, by your side, high, low, in your lap, and fold them just so.

Activity: Ten in the Bed (show the number of kids in the bed with your fingers, roll your hands)

Song: Dance, Freeze, Melt by Mr. Eric and Mr. Michael
Dance for 8 counts, Freeze, Melt, Jump, Freeze, Melt, Twirl, Freeze, Melt, Fly, Freeze, Melt

Song: Ten Fingers by Peter and Ellen Allard
(Used again as a re-focusing activity) Fingers go shut, open, on your head, by your side, high, low, in your lap, and fold them just so.


Book: 600 Black Spots by David Carter


Learn: Cinderella Dressed in Red 
(I was supposed to have purchased a large ball to bounce while kids were counting. I didn't have time to run to the store (three cheers for last minute planning!), so instead we just hopped-- which is good large-motor and balance practice anyway).

Cinderella or Prince Charming dressed in red.
What time did you go to bed?
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12.

We did the girls once and the boys once. Though basically everyone hopped both times. I didn't stress out about it.

Song: One, Two, Three, Whee! by Mr. Eric and Mr. Michael

Closing Rhyme: (borrowed from the librarians at the Ames Public Library)
We read a book / We sang a song / Let's blow a kiss / And say so long.
Teach sign language for book & song, mimic blowing a kiss, wave for so long.
