Letter Tree/Letter of the Day: T

Action Rhyme: A Tree is a Home
A tree may be a home for a bird (flap arms like a bird)
A tree may be a home for bee (buzz your hand around)
A tree may be a home for snake (slithering snake with hands)
A tree may be a home for monkey (swing your arms)
Hmmm. I wonder if a tree would make a good home for me?

Flannel Song: I'm a Tree, I have Four Needs (Tune: Skip to My Lou)
I'm a tree, I have four needs.
I'm a tree, I have four needs.
I'm a tree, I have four needs.
Do you know what they are?
(I need lots and lots of sun, to grow big and strong)
(I need water now and then, to grow big and strong)
(I need air just like you, to grow big and strong)
(I need soil for my roots, to grow big and strong)
