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.

Song: “Pop Goes the Berry” (Tune: “Pop Goes the Weasel”)
All around the strawberry fields,
We picked some juicy berries
We brought them home and washed them off,
Pop! Go the berries! (have kids jump up on “pop”)

Book: Share, Big Bear, Share! by Maureen Wright, illustrated by Will Hillenbrand

Puppet/Flannel: “Five Red Strawberries”
Five red strawberries, sweet to the core.
Bear came and ate one and then there were four.

Four red strawberries, growing near a tree.
Bear came and ate one and then there were three.

Three red strawberries, for you and you and you.
Bear came and ate one and then there were two.

Two red strawberries, sitting in the sun.
Bear came and ate one and then there was one.

One red strawberry, left all alone.
Bear came and ate it and then there were none.

Opening song

 Book: Box Meets Circle by Aaron Hartline

Song : “Shapes” (Tune: “Wheels on the Bus”)
A circle is a shape that goes round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
A circle is a shape that goes round and round,
Round and round.

A triangle is a shape with three sides,
Three sides, three sides.
A triangle is a shape with three sides,
Three sides. 

A square is a shape with four sides,
Four sides, four sides,
A square is a shape with four sides,
Four sides. 

Book: Pie in the Sky by Lois Ehlert

Flannel: One Whole Pie
One whole pie
Set by the door,
Cut into pieces,
I count four. 

Four pieces of pie,
All for me,
I ate one piece (make loud eating sounds as you take the piece of the board)
Now there are three. 

Three pieces of pie
For me too
I ate another piece,
Now there are two. 

Two pieces of pie
Oh! What fun!
I ate another piece,
Now there is one. 

One piece of pie
I can’t wait!
I ate that last piece
Empty plate! 

Book: All for Pie, Pie of All by David Martin

Song: “Make a Circle, Draw a Square” (Tune: “Oh My Darling Clementine”)
Make a circle, make a circle, draw it in the sky
Use your finger, use your finger, make it round as pie

Make a square, make a square, make the lines so straight
Draw a square, draw a square, draw one or draw eight

Draw a triangle, draw a triangle, always start at the top
Make a tent, make a tent, use three lines and then stop! 

Song: “ABCs”
