Our Family Album: Hannah's 1st Class

Hannah had her first class ever today! She was really excited to see so many kids at the library.

They give you a little flyer with the rhymes and songs and the titles of the books we read.

Hannah was a little bit quiet but she was pointing and talking a little bit during the songs and rhymes parts.

At the end when there is free play she crawled right over to the toy boxes with the other kids.

Awwwww. It's pretty cute!

Opening Song (To The Tune of If You're Happy and You Know It)

If you're ready for some stories clap your hands

If you're ready for some stories,

If you're ready for some stories clap your hands.

(Tap your toes, rub your tummy)

Book : Mealtime for Baby! By Fiona Watt

Rhyme : Slice, slice, the bread looks nice

Slice, slice, the bread looks nice (have baby sitting down on your lap and move your hands on each side of baby)

Spread, spread, butter on the bread (on baby's back)

Some jam on top to make it sweet (touch baby's head)

And now it's time for me to eat! (kiss your baby)

Music & Movement : "I Have Ten Little Fingers"

On Fingerplays and Footplays for Fun and Learning by Rosemary Hallum

Shaker Song (Sung to "London Bridge")

Shake it high and shake it low,

shake it high and shake it low.

Shake it high and shake it low;

That is how the shaker goes.

Shake it fast now shake it slow.

Shake it fast shake it slow.

Shake it fast now shake it slow,

This is how the shaker goes.

Book : The Saucepan Game by Jan Ormerod

Knee Bounce Rhyme : Popcorn, Popcorn

Popcorn, popcorn, sizzles in the pan

Shake it shake it

Bam bam bam

Popcorn, popcorn now it's getting hot

Shake it, shake it

Pop, pop, pop!

Read Together : That's Not My Car by Fiona Watt

Closing Rhyme (Tune - If You're Happy and You Know It)

It is time to say goodbye to all my friends (clap,clap)

Give a smile and wink and eye, it is time to say goodbye

It is time to say goodbye to all my friends

(and of course clean up song...)
