Flannel Board One Little Flower, One Little Bee

One little flower, one little bee.
One little blue bird, high in the tree.
One little brown bear smiling at me.
One is the number I like, you see.

Two little flowers, two little bees
2 little bluebirds high in the tree
2 little brown bears smiling at me
2 is a number I like, you see.

3 little flowers, 3 little bees
3 little bluebirds high up in the tree.
3 little brown bears smiling at me
3 is a number I like, you see.

Show me five fingers,
Let me see.

With this finger,
Point to me.

Flannel Board: I went to the zoo…
By: Tammy Henry, April 2010

I went to the zoo on Sunday
I saw an elephant wrinkled and gray.
I went to the zoo on Monday
I saw the tiger tumble and play.
I went to the zoo on Tuesday
The kangaroos hopping put on quite a display.
I went the zoo on Wednesday
How much does that big hippo weigh?
I went to the zoo on Thursday
I saw the lion chase his prey.
I went to the zoo on Friday
The giraffe was crunching and munching on hay.
I went to the zoo on Saturday
I saw the snake slither on the clay
Now it is time to go on our way
I like visiting the zoo everyday!

Book: Zero

Song: Zany Z's
(Tune: London Bridge)

Zany Z's are zooming by,
Zooming by, zooming by.
Zany Z's are zooming by,
Zip! Zap! Zoom!

Zany zebras are zooming by,
Zooming by, Zooming by.
Zany zebras are Zooming by,
Zip! Zap! Zoom!

Zany zippers
Zany zucchini
Zany zero
Zany zigzag

Nursery Rhyme/short poem: Nine Little Zebras

One little, two little, three little zebras,
Four little, five little, six little zebras,
Seven little, eight little, nine little zebras,
Galloping across the plain.
