3.    Poem: It's Raining, It's Pouring,
It's raining, it's pouring,
The old man is snoring.
He went to bed and he
Bumped his head
And he couldn't get up in the morning.


Rain
Rain on the green grass                                              Flutter fingers up and down
Rain on the tree                                                            Raise both hands to form tree
Rain on the rooftop                                                     hands form point over head like roof
But not on me!                                                             point to self

4.    Read second storyMove Over Rover", "Peter Spier's Rain"


5.    Finger play: Eency Weency Spider
The eency-weency spider went up the water spout                               walk fingers up
Down came the rain and washed the spider out                                     sweep arms down and out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain                                              arms form circle over head
And the eency-weency spider went up the spout again                        walk fingers up again
