Book:            Baby Goes to Market by Atinuke

Numbers & Colors:     5 Little Buttons

FIVE little buttons on the coat that I wore
Dad buttoned the red one, then there were four

FOUR little buttons, up and down you see
Mom buttoned the orange one, then there were three

THREE little buttons and before I knew
My brother buttoned the yellow one, then there were two

TWO little buttons, oh what fun
My sister buttoned the green one, then there was one

ONE little button, blue and undone
I buttoned it myself and then there were none”

Ukulele Song:        Baby Beluga (by Raffi)

Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free,
Heaven above and the sea below,And a little white whale on the go.

Baby Beluga, Oh Baby Beluga,  Is the water warm,
Is your mama home, With you so happy?

Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free,
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.

You’re just a little white whale on the go.
You’re my little white whale on the go!
