Songs/Rhymes/Fingerplays
"Sound Bus"
This is a repeating song we do every week, focusing on the "letter of the day". The letter "drives" the bus, and only things that start with that letter can "ride" the bus. I give clues about the things that are going to ride and allow the children the opportunity to guess.
Sometimes I make up a little story that links all the objects together. Today we started with Yoda. While Yoda is riding the bus he will need a snack (yogurt). The bus ride is really long so he will need a toy to play with (yo-yo). He decides to knit a hat because his head is cold...he'll need (yarn). After we add something to the bus we sing:
(tune: The Wheels on the Bus)
The Y on the bus goes /y/ /y/ /y/
/y/ /y/ /y/, /y/ /y/ /y/
The Y on the bus goes /y/ /y/ /y/
On the bus is....Yoda.

Brrr! In the cold I'm stiff as starch!
Let's make a snowball, sled down a hill.
Wintertime, wintertime, time to chill!

Ahh! What a nice cool afternoon!
Let's fly a kite, and plant pretty flowers.
Springtime, springtime, time for showers!

Ouch! Got a sunburn I'll always remember!

Hey! Each day grows shorter than September!
Let's see the leaves fall, let's bake a cake
Autumn time, autumn time, time for a rake!

Hooray for the seasons all
through the year,
One just left and another one's here!
I love the seasons, each is a ball:
Wintertime, springtime, summertime, fall.

It's Raining
It's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
He went to bed and bumped his head
And couldn't get up in the morning.
What else did he bump? Answers included: back, elbow, knee, eye, and foot.
