Welcome Song: These are my glasses (make glasses with your fingers)
This is my book (hands pressed together)
I put on my glasses (put on the glasses)
And open up my book (open your hands)
Now I read read read (hold out the “book”)
And I look look look (look through the glasses)
I take off my glasses and… (put hands down and…)
Close up my book! (clap hands together!)

Weather Song
(Tune: Oh My Darlin’ Clementine)
What’s the weather, what’s the weather,
What’s the weather, everyone?
Is it windy, is it cloudy,
Is there rain/snow, or is there sun?

Days of the Week Song
(Tune: Addams Family Theme Song)
Days of the week, *snap*snap* days of the week, *snap*snap*
Days of the week, days of the week, days of the week *snap*snap*
There’s Sunday and there’s Monday, there’s Tuesday and there’s Wednesday
There’s Thursday and there’s Friday, and then there’s Saturday

Counting Song: 5 Little Moths (Tune: Five Little Ducks)
Five little moths came out to play,
On a starry night in May.
Fluttering by a bright porch light,
‘Til one little mo-oth says, “Goodnight!”
Repeat, counting down to zero
No little moths around the porch light.
So let’s turn it off and say “Sleep tight!”

There’s a tiny caterpillar, such a tiny caterpillar!
There’s a tiny caterpillar on a leaf, wiggle wiggle.
Repeat with:
(stand up) There’s a big caterpillar on a leaf, munch, munch (clap, clap)
(arms as wings) There’s a pretty butterfly on a leaf, flutter, flutter.
