• Flannel Board: Yellow Daffodils


• One yellow daffodil wet with gentle dew. The weather warmed up and then there were two. Two yellow daffodils, standing to my knee The wind blew a leaf and then there were three. Three yellow daffodils wishing there were more. The sun warmed the ground and then there were four. Four yellow daffodils, watch them sway and dive. They dance and they dance, and then there are five. Five yellow daffodils spring up very fast. Five yellow daffodils: I wish they would last.

• Song: Yellow (Tune: "London Bridge") Yellow flowers bend and sway Bend and sway, bend and sway; Yellow flowers bend and sway When the wind blows. Yellow ducks say "Quack, quack, quack," (repeat) In the water. Yellow birds Are flying high (repeat) In the sky. Yellow chicks Peck and scratch (repeat )In the barnyard. Yellow lemons In my drink (repeat) Make me pucker. Yellow cab Goes zooming by (repeat) Down the street. Yellow songs Are fun to sing (repeat) I love yellow.

Flannel Board: X marks the spot (by Tammy Henry, April 13, 2010)

X marks the spot of the old wooden chest

Inside is a treasure, can you guess?

Dig under an A and there’ll just be an ant

Digging under the P a pair of pants

Dig under a B a bicycle you’ll see

And under the K a rusty old key!

Dig under C and find an old clock

Digging under R and you’ll just find a rock!

To find the treasure chest

Remembering this rhyme is best…

That X marks the spot!

Book: The fox and the hen (BAT)

Song: Have you ever seen a fox wearing socks? (rhyming song)

(To the tune: If you're happy and you know it)

Have you ever seen a fox wearing socks?

Have you ever seen a fox wearing socks?

No I never, No I never, No I never, No I never

No I've never seen a fox wearing socks

Nursery Rhyme/short poem: Turtle in a box

There was a little turtle,

He Lived in a box

He swam in a puddle,

He climbed on the rocks.

He snapped at a mosquito,

He snapped at a flea,

He snapped at a minnow,

And he snapped at me.

He caught the mosquito,

He caught the flea,

He caught the minnow,

But he didn't catch ME!
