Song: Mary Had a Little Lamb, using this book as reference:
"Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go
It followed her to school one day
School one day, school one day
It followed her to school one day
Which was against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play,
Laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school
And so the teacher turned it out,
Turned it out, turned it out,
And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near
And waited patiently about,
Patiently about, patiently about,
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
Love Mary so? Love Mary so?
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
The eager children cry
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
Loves the lamb, you know, loves the lamb, you know
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."
The teacher did reply".
Read second story: "Morag and the Lamb" or "Dandelion".
Poem/Fingerplay: Five Little Leaves - Here
"Five
little leaves in the autumn breeze,
Tumbled
and fluttered down from the trees.
The
first leaf said, I am red,
I
shall rest in a flower bed.
The
second leaf said, I am yellow,
I
am a happy-go-lucky fellow.
The
third leaf said, I am violet,
Pick
me up, I’m cold and wet.
The
fourth leaf said, I am green,
When
it rains I’m washed all clean.
The
fifth leaf said, I am brown,
I
shall blow all over town."
