We read, Ollie, by Olivier Dunrea, Silly Little Goose by Tafuri, and Are You My Mother? by Eastman.
sang Six Little Ducks:
Six little ducks
that I once knew
(hold up two hands, palms out, six fingers extended)
Fat ducks, skinny ducks,
fair ducks too.
(wiggle fingers)
But the one little duck
with a feather on his back
(hold up one finger)
He led the others with
a Quack, Quack, Quack
(hold up two hands, six fingers extended - with one finger leading the other hand)...
We used the flannel board mother goose rhyme:
Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds
All baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To set before the King?
The King was in his counting-house,
Counting out his money;
The Queen was in the parlor
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes;
When down came a blackbird,
And snipped off her nose!
(But there came a jenny-wren and popped it on again)
