(to the tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)

Introduction: We briefly reviewed the colors we have done in the past several weeks and talked about the fact that if you mix some of those colors together, you get new colors. For example, red and blue together make purple.

Rhyme Cube: I roll the cube to select a fingerplay or action rhyme.
Today, we did "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "I'm a Little Teapot."
"The Itsy Bitsy Spider"
The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again
"I'm a Little Teapot"
I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout
When I get all steamed up, hear my shout
Just tip me over and pour me out.
Flannelboard Rhyme: “Five Purple Balls”
Five purple balls bounced by a door.
One bounced inside, that left four.
Four purple balls bounced by a tree.
One bounced behind it, and that left three.
Three purple balls with nothing to do.
One bounced home, and that left two.
Two purple balls, bouncing just for fun
One bounced away, and that left one.
One purple ball, bouncing down the street.
I took it home when it landed at my feet.
