OPENING SONG: Hello Song*<\/strong><\/p>\n

OPENING FINGERPLAY: Open Them Shut Them*<\/strong><\/p>\n

BOOK: What Will Fat Cat Sit On?<\/strong> by THOMAS
\nIt’s always a good day when you can read a Jan Thomas book!<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

LITERACY TIP: Print Awareness<\/strong>
\nWhen you have a book like What Will Fat Cat Sit On? that has really big words, point to them every now and then when you read. You will start to help your baby make the connection between the words that you say and the print on the page.<\/em><\/p>\n

FLANNEL SONG: Down Around the Corner<\/strong>
\nI use this song over and over again. We go to different kinds of stores and buy different things! Sing it to “Five Little Ducks.” <\/em><\/p>\n

Down around the corner at my mom’s pet store
\nWere five little cats and not one more
\nAlong came someone with a nickel to pay
\nAnd they bought a little cat and they took it away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

ACTION RHYME: I Have Fur<\/strong>
\nThis is one of the first rhymes I wrote when I started trying to make up my own!<\/em><\/p>\n

I have fur upon my back
\nPat baby’s back<\/em>
\nI have whiskers just like that
\nTrace whiskers on baby’s cheeks<\/em>
\nI have ears–I flick them twice
\nHold up the first two fingers of each hand on your head so baby can see your “ears” or touch baby’s ears<\/em>
\nI have paws for catching mice!
\nHold your hands in front of you like paws, then clap them together when you say “catching!”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

FLANNEL SONG: A Hunting We Will Go*<\/strong>
\nToday we used cat\/hat, parrot\/carrot, fish\/dish, and dog\/log<\/em><\/p>\n

BOOK: Doggies<\/strong> by Boynton
\nI made a homemade big book<\/a> out of this favorite board book.<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

BOUNCE: Ride Away<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ride away ride away
\nBounce baby on lap<\/em>
\nJohnny will ride
\nHe shall have a pussycat
\nTied to one side
\nSlip baby to one side<\/em>
\nHe shall have a puppy dog
\nTied to the other
\nSlip baby to the other side!<\/em>
\nAnd Johnny will ride to see his grandmother<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ACTION RHYME: This is Big Big Big*<\/strong> <\/p>\n

CLOSING SONG: Sneeze Game*<\/strong> <\/p>\n
