Hello Song (using ASL):  Hello Friends

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

ASL Sign & Sing: Stop

Today we learned to sign “stop” using ASL. To help remember this sign you can play stop and go games like this one:

Tune: Frère Jacques
Tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe,
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
Now its time to stop, now its time to stop.

Book: Every Little Thing: Based on the song ‘Three Little Birds’ by Bob Marley by Cedella Marley, illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton

Song: Little Bird

I saw a little bird go hop, hop, hop (hop three times)
I told the little bird to stop, stop, stop (hold out hand for stop)
I went to the window to say “How do you do?” (handshake)
He wagged his little tail and far away he flew! (shake tail and fly away)

Mystery Box:

Today we had rhythm sticks inside our mystery box!

Row, Row, Row Your Boat:

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the river
If you see a polar bear
Don’t forget to shiver!

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
If you see a funny goat
Don’t forget to scream! Ah!

Row, row, row your boat
Gently to the shore
If you see a lion
Don’t forget to roar!

Row, row, row your boat
Next to that canoe
If you see a rooster
Say, “Cock-a-doodle-doo!”
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the creek
If you see a little rat
Don’t forget to squeak!

Row, row, row your boat
Across the giant puddle
If you see a puppy dog
Stop to play and cuddle!

Row, row, row your boat
In your bubble bath
If you see an otter
Don’t forget to laugh!

Row, row, row your boat
Gently to the beach
If you see a brown bat
Don’t forget to screech!

Row, row, row your boat
Quickly now, let’s go
If you see a hippogriff
Stop and say hello!

Row, row, row your boat
Out into the bay
If you see a dinosaur
Sail the other way!

Goodbye song: Goodbye friends

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