Magic Words
(All Day Long CD)
There are two little magic words
That will open any door with ease.
One little word is, “Thanks!”
And the other little word is, “Please!”
When you’d like to ask for someone’s help,
And you’re not sure where to begin.
“Please” will start you off,
and “thanks” comes at the end.

Four tens, you’re doing fine.
Five tens, you’re half way there.
Six tens, you’re on a roll.
Seven tens, what a cool game.
Eight tens, you’re doing great.
Nine tens, we’re near the end.
Ten tens is 100, now it’s time to sit down!

I Know a Scientist
(Tune: “I Had a Little Turtle” – Going Green CD)
I know a scientist, (Hold up index finger.)
And you can be one, too! (Point with index finger.)
Here’s the scientific method
So you’ll know what to do.
First you find a question. (Hold up one finger.)
Just take a look around. (Pretend to look around.)
What is it that you want to know?
Now you write it down.
Next you make a guess— (Hold up two fingers.)
It’s called a hypothesis—
About what will happen
When you do your tests.
Now experiment, (Hold up three fingers)
Observe it, write it, too. (Hold up four fingers.)
You’ll need lots of data
To show your guess is true.
Draw your conclusions. (Hold up five fingers.)
Look into any doubts.
Then tell everybody
What you’ve found out!

You put your thumbs in. (thumbs out in front)
You take your thumbs out. (thumbs behind)
You put your thumbs in, (thumbs in front)
And you wiggle them all about. (wiggle thumbs)
You do the couch potato pokey, (wave arms in air)
And you roll your arms around. (roll hands over)
That’s what it’s all about! (slap, clap, snap)
You put your noses in…
You put your elbows in…
You put your eyebrows in…
You put your chins in…
You put your pinkies in…
Give a microwave with your pinkies
And say good-bye today,
Cause that’s all we’re going to play!

Short and fat. (Stretch arms in a circle.)
Here is my broom and (Hold up right hand.)

Stand Up For Martin Luther King – 3rd Monday in January
(Tune: “My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean” – Happy Everything CD)
Dr. King stood up for justice.
He stood up for equality, too.
Dr. King stood up for children.
He stood up for me and for you.
Chorus: So now we… (Stand up and march on the chorus.)
Stand up, stand up,
Stand up for Martin Luther King.
Stand up, stand up,
Stand up for Dr. King.
Dr. King wanted all of America
To be tolerant, fair, and free.
He stood up for what he believed in.
He stood up for you and for me. (Chorus)
Dr King taught us all to be dreamers
So one day the world could begin
To judge people based on their character
And not on the color of their skin. (Chorus)
Seasonal Wandering
(Happy Everything CD)
I love to go wandering in the winter of the year.
Now is on the ground and the air is crisp and clear.
Tra la le, tra la la, tra la le, tra la la la la la la la.
Tra la le, tra la la, it’s “mitten time” of year.
I love to go wandering when it warms up in the spring.
The flowers bloom, the trees bud, and the birds begin to sing.
Tra la le, tra la la, tra la le, tra la la la la la la la.
Tra la le, tra la la, it’s “mitten time” of year.
I love to go wandering in the summer when it’s hot.
I like to swim and ride my bike and play outside a lot.
Tra la le, tra la la, tra la le, tra la la la la la la la.
Tra la le, tra la la, it’s “mitten time” of year.
I love to go wandering in the coolness of the fall.
The leaves are changing colors and I like to play football.
Tra la le, tra la la, tra la le, tra la la la la la la la.
Tra la le, tra la la, it’s “mitten time” of year.
Good-Bye Song
What Did You Learn Today?
(All Day Long CD)
Hey, hey, what do you say? (Clap and snap to the beat.)
What did you learn in school today?
When the teacher points your way
What will you say?
(Teacher points to children and they say what they learned.)
Hey, hey, what do you say?
We all had a special day!
Now, turn to a friend and say
What you learned today.
(Children share what they learned with friends.)
