Pond - fingerplays & songs

B LOVES music, every day he is singing something...many times it's his own made up song, to the rhythm of another one. So music is an easy way to slip in learning with B.

Here's our flannel board with Five Little Speckled Frogs. We also used it for Frog.

Five little speckled frogs,

Sitting on a hollow log,

Eating some most delicious bugs,

Yum, Yum.

One frog jumped in the pool,

Where it was nice and cool,

Now there are four speckled frogs,

Glub, glub.

Frog

Croak said the frog,

With his golden eyes.

Sitting on a lily pad,

Catching flies.

I have a sticky tongue,

It's as fast as can be.

I catch the mosquitoes,

1-2-3.

Here is our turtle & the song we sang with him.

We also had a few duck songs & fingerplays too.

Five Little Ducks -- kididdles 

Six Little Ducks --  kididdles

Little Duck

tune: "I'm a little tea pot"

I'm a little duck that goes quack, quack, quack.

And I've got lots of feathers on my back.

When I go down to the lake

I wiggle & I wobble & I shake, shake, shake.

And when I go to sleep at night,

I close my eyes very tight.

But in the morning when I wake

I wiggle & I wobble & I shake, shake, shake.

Down at the Pond

Tune: “Down At The Station”

Down at the pond
Early in the morning.
See the little ducklings
Swimming in a row.

See the mother duck
Dive for her breakfast.
Up, down, up, down
Watch her head go!

Down at the pond
Early in the morning.
See the little ducklings
Swimming in a row.

See the mother duck
Flap her wings just so.
Up she flys
Her ducklings in tow!
