Sign language: Family
Today we’ll talk about families! Think about who is in your family… maybe you have a mommy, or a daddy, or a brother, or sister! All families are different but what’s most important is that all families love each other.

Song: ““Jumping and Counting” – Jim Gill: Jim Gill’s Irrational Anthem
Book: Counting Kisses by Karen Katz
Rhyme: I can hug, hug, hug
I can hop, hop, hop
I can kiss, kiss, kiss
I can stop, stop, stop
I can nod my head for yes,
And I can shake my head no,
And I can sit down very slow.

Love grows one by one, two by two, and four by four
Love grows, round like a circle
And comes back knocking at your front door
