Hello Song (using ASL):  Hello Friends

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

ASL Sign and Song: Rat

We learned the ASL sign for RAT and sang the following song to help us remember the sign:

Rat, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes
Rat, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose
Rat, shoulders, knees, and toes, knees and toes

Song: There’s a Rat on My Toes

There’s a rat on my toe on my toe,
There’s a rat on my toe, on my toe.
There’s a rat on my toe,
Better stretch high then low,
There’s a rat on my toe, on my toe

//Knee/shout hooray with me
//Belly/wiggle jiggle just like jelly
//Head/tuck her into bed

Song: Dance Your Fingers

Dance your fingers up and dance your fingers down.
Dance your fingers side to side.
Dance them all around.
Dance them on your shoulders.
Dance them on your head.
Dance them on your knees.
Then tuck them straight to bed!
