I'm a little kitty cat, soft and sweet

Here are my whiskers, here are my feet

When I go out hunting, mice beware!

Or you might just get a ... SCARE!!

Rainbow Kittens

Six little kittens found a box of paint.

They jumped right in...their mother will faint!

The 1st little kitten came out all red

"I'll be orange," the 2nd kitten said.

The 3rd little kitten turned bright yellow

"I'll be green," said the 4th little fellow. 

The 5th kitten said, "My favorite is blue"

"Purple for me," said the 6th with a mew

Dancing home the kittens go

To show their mother a KITTEN RAINBOW!

Parent Tip

An ordinal number is a number that tells the position of something in a list, such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd.  Using ordinal numbers with your child is an easy way to add math into your daily life to help your child be ready for kindergarten.  By simple talking about consistent, sequential daily activities, you are teaching ordinal numbers.  First, we will go to the library.  Second, we will stop at the grocery store.  Third, we will come home and eat lunch.

K-I-T-T-Y

(tune: Bingo)

I know a cat with perky ears and Kitty is her name-o

K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y

She makes a sound and it's "meow", and Kitty is her name-o.

K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y

Her teeth and claws are very sharp, and Kitty is her name-o.

K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y

She loves to sleep and then to stretch, and Kitty is her name-o.

K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y
