Song: Coin Identification Song

Penny, penny,
Easily spent,
Copper, brown,
And worth one cent!

Nickel, nickel,
Thick and fat,
You’re worth five cents,
I know that!

Dime, dime,
Little and thin,
I remember,
you’re worth ten!

Quarter, quarter,
Big and bold,
You’re worth 25,
I am told!

Today we had a play flower store and shaker in the mystery box.

Matching Activity: Pretty Flowers

Pretty flowers in the flower store.
Pretty flowers, who are they for?
Along came a friend
With a penny to pay.
They bought one,
Then gave it away.

Shaker Song: “Jumping and Counting” by Jim Gill

Jump Jump Jump Jump
Jumping high are we.
But we’ll stop jumping
While we count to three.

Jump Jump Jump Jump
Jumping even more.
But we’ll stop jumping
While we count to four.

Jump Jump Jump Jump
Just like pogo sticks.
But let’s stop jumping
While we count to six.

Jump Jump Jump Jump
Jumping then we wait.
We stop our jumping
While we count to eight.

Jump Jump Jump Jump
Jumping once again.
But we’ll be finished
Once we count to ten.

Goodbye song: Goodbye friends

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