Welcome Song

Henrietta’s Basket:  Ball of yellow yarn


Song: Be my echo (6 syllables x 2) excited and exit, exercise and excuse me

(6 syllables x 2) yawn and yogurt, yesterday and yell


Flannel Board Song: Y-E-L-L-O-W
(tune: The Farmer in the Dell)

Y-E-L-L-O-W spells yellow.
Y-E-L-L-O-W spells yellow.
Like the early morning sun
When the day has just begun
Y-E-L-L-O-W spells yellow.

Daffodils and baby ducks are yellow.
Lemonade and scrambled eggs are yellow.
Like the smiley face that’s yellow
He is such a happy fellow.
Y-E-L-L-O-W spells yellow.

Book: Dear Tyrannosaurs Rex (McClatchy)

Stand up Song: Rhyme Song
(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.

Additional verses:
Cat-in a hat
Lamb-eating jam
Pup-in a cup
Bear-sit in a chair
