Opening Song

Book: We Love You, Rosie! by Cynthia Rylant and Linda Davick

Rhyme: “This is big”
This is big big big
This is small small small
This is short short short
This is tall tall tall
This is fast fast fast
This is slow slow slow
This is yes yes yes
This is no no no

Song: “Open Shut Them”
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Give a little clap, clap, clap

Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Put them in your lap

Creep them, crawl them
Creep them, crawl them
Right up to your chin

Open wide your little mouth…
But do not let them in.

Fingerplay: “Two Little Blackbirds”
Two little blackbirds sitting on a hill.
One named Jack and one named Jill.
Fly away Jack, flay away Jill.
Come back Jack, come back Jill.

Two little blackbirds flying in the sky.
One named Low and one named High…

Two little blackbirds sitting on a pole.
One named Fast and one named Slow…

Two little blackbirds sitting on a gate…
One named Early and one named Late…

Song: “Once There Was a Snowman”
Once was there was a snowman, snowman, snowman
Once there was a snowman
Tall, tall, tall
In the sun he melted, he melted, he melted
In the sun he melted
Small, small, small
