Book: Natsumi’s Song of Summer by Robert Paul Weston, illustrated by Misa Saburi
Fingerplay: “Two Little Fireflies”
Two little fireflies shining in the sky,
One shined low and one shined high.
Fly away low, Fly away high.
Come back low, Come back high.
Two little fireflies shining in the grass,
One shined slow and one shined fast.
Fly away slow, Fly away fast.
Come back slow, Come back fast.

Song: “I Wake Up My Hands”

A clap, clap, clap, a clap, clap, clap,
I wake up my hands with a clap, clap, clap,
And I wiggle my waggles away.
Additional verses:
Feet – stomp
Head – nod
Belly – beep
Eyes – blink

If you’re going to the pool, wear your suit, (show picture)
If you’re going to the pool, wear your suit,
If you’re going to the pool, then a suit will keep you cool,
If you’re going to the pool, wear your suit.
Additional verses:
…then a hat will keep you cool
…then your shoes will keep you cool
…then your shades will keep you cool

We are ice cream cones
On a summer’s day,
Melting, melting, melting, melting,
Melting all away.
