Hello Song (using ASL):  Hello Friends

Hello friends,
Hello friends,
Hello friends,
It’s time to say hello.

ASL Sign & Sing: Bear

Today we learned to sign “Bear” using ASL. To help remember this sign, sing and sign this song:

Tune: The Farmer and the Dell
Rain is falling down,
The bear gives a hug
The bear gives a hug
Would you like to hug a bear?
The bear gives a hug

Book: The Bear and the Moon by Matthew Burgess, illustrated by Catia Chien

Song: The Bear Went over the Mountain

Movement: sit on the floor with your knees bent (creating a mountain shape). Crawl fingers over, around, and under the your knees to match the prepositions in this song.

The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
To see what he could see
But all that he could see,
But all that he could see,
Was the other side of the mountain
the other side of the mountain
the other side of the mountain
Was all that he could see

//Around the mountain
//Under the mountain
//Jumped over the mountain

Mystery Box:

Today we had instruments in our mystery box.

Instrument Song: It Takes Some Friends by Jim Gill

It takes some clapping friends, to make a clapping song
It takes some clapping friends, to make a clapping song
It takes some clapping friends, to make a clapping song
The music gets better as more friends clap along!

//It takes some stamping friends to make a stamping song
//It takes some singing to make a singing song
//It takes some happy friends to make a happy song

Goodbye song: Goodbye friends

Goodbye friends,
Goodbye friends,
Goodbye friends,
It’s time to say goodbye.
