We Love Our Flag

(Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell”)

We love our flag.
We love our flag.
We love America
And we love our flag.
Red, white, and blue,
Red, white, and blue,
The colors of our country’s flag
Are red, white, and blue.
50 stars of white
On a field of blue
Stand for 50 states
Where we live, it’s true.
Thirteen stripes
In red and white
Stand for the colonies
For freedom they did fight.
We love our flag…

(Tune: “Found a Peanut” - Totally Math CD)

It is round and brown and shinny (Hold up real coins or cut outs
Found a penny just now. as you sing.)
I see Lincoln, I see Lincoln, our sixteenth president,
On the back is his Memorial
Penny, penny’s worth one cent.

Found a nickel, found a nickel, found a nickel just now.
It is round and fat and silver
Found a nickel just now.
I see Jefferson, I see Jefferson, our third president
On the back his Monticello
Nickel, nickel’s worth five cents.

Found a dime, found a dime, found a dime just now.
It is thin and small and silver,
Found a dime just now.
I see Roosevelt, I see Roosevelt, our thirty-second president
On the back is a torch.
One dime is worth ten cents.

Found a quarter, found a quarter, found a quarter just now.

It’s the largest of all the coins,
Found a quarter just now.
I see Washington, I see Washington, our first president
On the back the bald eagle;
Quarter’s worth twenty-five cents.

Found a dollar, found a dollar, found a dollar just now.
It has a picture of George Washington
And it’s worth one hundred cents.

Five pennies equal a nickel; ten pennies equal a dime.
Twenty-five pennies in a quarter,
Two nickels equal a dime.
Five nickels in a quarter, or a nickel and two dimes;
Four quarters in a dollar
And a dollar equals ten dimes.

Seasonal Songs

Groundhog Day – February 2nd
(Tune: “Turkey in the Straw” – Happy Everything CD)

February 2nd,
Is Groundhog Day.
Gather round his hole
To hear what he’ll say.
Will spring be early
Or late this year?
Watch and listen
To what you’ll hear.
If he sticks his head out
On a sunny day.
His shadow will frighten him
And he will say,
“I’ll go back in my hole
And go back to sleep.
You’ll have winter
For six more weeks.”
If he sticks his head out
On a cloudy day.
He’s not frightened
So he will say,
“I think I’ll stay out
And the weather should clear.
Spring will be here
Early this year.”

Abraham Lincoln
(Tune: “Pop Goes the Weasel” – Happy Everything CD)

Abraham Lincoln, past President, (Give each child a penny to hold as you sing.)
Loved and honored by many.
To help us remember this famous man,
We put his face on a penny.
Hold a penny in your hand
And his face you’ll see.
He always tried to tell the truth.
He’s Honest Abe to me.

Bringing Home a Valentine
