There was a day when we were blown
And windy was the weather.

The Wheels on the Bus
(Traditional song)

We used these verse:
Wheels--round and round
Doors--open and shut
Driver--"Move on back!"
Wipers--"Swish, swish, swish"
People--up and down
Babies--"Wah, wah, wah"
Parents--"Sh, sh, sh"
Wheels--round and round
Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again!

Enrichment Activities
Wooden Blocks

White chalk, crayon, pencil on black paper

Wind-up Toys (a HUGE hit!)

I also pulled out the indoor hopscotch--just because it's fun!
