The Red, Red, Robin

When The Red, Red, Robin
Comes bob, bob, bobbin'
Along, along,
There'll be no more sobbin'
When he starts throbbin'
His old sweet song.

Wake up, wake up you sleepy head,
Get up, get up, get out of bed,
Cheer up, cheer up, the sun is red,
Live, love, laugh and be happy.

What if I've been blue,
Now I'm walkin' through
Fields of flow'rs,
Rain may glisten
But still I listen
For hours and hours.

I'm just a kid again, doin' what I did again,
Singing a song,
When The Red, Red, Robin
Comes Bob, bob, bobbin' along.

Colors (That We Wear)

(to the tune of: "The Farmer in the Dell")

Oh, (name) is wearing blue,
Oh, (name) is wearing blue.
High Ho the derry-oh,

(Change name and colors accordingly)

Can You Find The Color?

(to the tune of: "The Muffin Man")

Oh, can you find the color______,
The color _____, the color _____?
Oh, can you find the color _____,
Somewhere in this room?

Color Song

(to the tune of: "The Itsy Bitsy Spider")

Orange is a carrot,
Yellow is the sun.
Green is the grass,
Brown's a cookie when it's done.
Purple is a plum and
Blue is the sky and
Black is the witch's hat and
Red's a cherry pie!

If I Had A Purple Penny

If I had a purple penny,
If I had a purple nickle,
I'd go down to the purple store and buy a purple pickle.
Purple pickles, purple peas, purple pepperoni,
Purple pudding, purple pie and purple macaroni!

I Never Saw A Purple Cow

I never saw a Purple Cow.
I never hope to see one.
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I’d rather see than be one!

Something New

(to the tune of: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star")

Red and blue, red and blue,
Mix them and find something new.
Purple like a fresh, ripe plum,
Purple like a poor, sore thumb.
Red and blue, red and blue,

Mix them and find something new!

Little Blue Man

One morning when I was out shopping,
Though you'll find it hard to believe,
A little blue man came out of the crowd
And timidly tugged at my sleeve.
"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man.
"I wuv you, I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!" He loved me said the little blue man,
And scared me right out of my wits!

I hurried back to my apartment;
I rushed in and I closed the door.
But there on the desk stood the little blue man
Who started to tell me once more:
"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man.
"I wuv you, I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!" He loved me said the little blue man,
And scared me right out of my wits!

For weeks after that I was haunted,
Though no one could see him but me.
Right by my side was the little blue man
Wherever I happened to be!
"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man.
"I wuv you, I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!" He loved me said the little blue man,
And scared me right out of my wits!

One evening in wild desperation,
I rushed to a rooftop in town,
And over the side pushed the little blue man
Who sang to me all the way down!
"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man.
"I wuv you, I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!" He loved me said the little blue man,
And scared me right out of my wits!

I whispered: "thank goodness that's over."
I smiled as I hurried outside.
But there on the street stood the little blue man
Who said with a tear in his eye:
"I don't wuv you anymore!"

Bluebird, Bluebird

Bluebird, bluebird, on my window.
Bluebird, bluebird, on my window.
Bluebird, bluebird, on my window.
Oh, Johnny I'm so tired!

Little Green Bug

Out in the grass is a little bug
That I have never seen.
He looks just like the leaves and grass
For he is the color green!

Turning Green

The blues were unhappy,
The yellows were, too.
They wanted to be the same
Oh, what could they do?

They each took a partner
And twirled ‘round and ‘round.
Soon they turned green
And they fell on the ground!

Galumph!

Galumph! went the little green frog one day.
Galumph! went the little green frog.
Galumph! went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went glumph! glumph! glumph!

But we all know frogs go:
La-Dee-Da-Dee-Da
La-Dee-Da-Dee-Da
La-Dee-Da-Dee-Da
We all know frogs go:
La-Dee-Da-Dee-Da
They don't go glumph! glumph! glumph!

Five Green and Speckled Frogs

Five green and speckled frogs,
Sitting on a hollow log,
Eating some most delicious bugs,
Yum! Yum!
One jumped in the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Now there are four green speckled frogs,
Glub! Glub!

Four green and speckled frogs,

Mister Sun

Oh Mister Sun, Sun,
Mister Golden Sun,
Please shine down on me!

Oh Mister Sun, Sun,
Mister Golden Sun,
Hiding behind a tree...

These little children
Are asking you
Won't you come out
So we can play with you?

Oh Mister Sun, Sun,
Mister Golden Sun,
Please shine down on me!

Bright Yellow Sun

(to the tune of: "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")

Bright sun shining down,
Shining on the ground.
What a lovely face you have,
Yellow, big and round.

The Yellow Basket

A tisket, a tasket,

I found a yellow basket.
Filled it up with yellow things
And ‘round the room I passed it.

(bring in a basket and have each child take a turn finding yellow objects around the room and placing them in the basket while the rest of the children sing the song; this can be done with any color)

Five Yellow Polka Dots

Five yellow polka dots lay on the floor,
One sat up and then there were four.

Four yellow polka dots got on their knees,
One tipped over and then there were three.

Three yellow polka dots stood on one shoe,
One fell down and then there were two.

Two yellow polka dots started to run,
One stopped quickly and then there was one.

One yellow polka dot rolled toward the door,
When it disappeared there were no more.

Orange Poem

I took a blob of red paint,
then I took a blob of yellow.
I squished and swished them all around
As far as they would go.
My red and yellow began to change
And much to my surprise,
I saw the colors turn into orange
Right before my eyes!

Orange Is The Color

(to the tune of: "Yankee Doodle")

Orange is the color of
So many things we see,
Would you like to sing a little
Orange song with me?

Orange juice and orange cheese,
Orange carrots, if you please,
Orange pumpkins, orange leaves
Let's sing a song of orange!

Red Poem

Red is a stop sign,
Red is a rose.
Red is an apple
And a funny clown's nose!

What Is Red

(to the tune of: "The Farmer in the Dell")

Spaghetti sauce is red,
Spaghetti sauce is red,
I can think of lots of things
That are the color red!

(each child chooses something red as you go around the circle)

The Beautiful Rainbow

One day the sun was shining bright
But some clouds came along and made it black as night
Then the rain began to sprinkle onto the ground
And soon it was raining all over the town.
But when the clouds had passed on by
A big beautiful rainbow stretched across the sky!

Color Song

Red, orange, yellow, green and blue
Then there comes a purple too!

Great Big Rainbow

(to the tune of: "I'm A Little Teapot")

There's a great big rainbow in the sky,
With pretty colors way up high.
When it starts to rain and the sun comes out
A beautiful rainbow will pop out!

Oh, Rainbow

(to the tune of: "O, Christmas Tree")

Oh rainbow, oh rainbow,
How lovely are your colors.
Oh rainbow, oh rainbow,
How lovely are your colors.
Purple, red and orange, too,
Yellow, green and blue so true.
Oh rainbow, oh rainbow,
How lovely are your colors.

Nursery Rhymes

My theme next week (March 7-11) is Nursery Rhymes. It is going to be a fun unit and there is no shortage of material on the subject at hand, let me tell you. There are literally hundreds of Nursery Rhyme books (since the rhymes are all in the public domain anyone - seriously, anyone - can publish their own Nursery Rhyme book) to choose from to read to your class. There are over a hundred at my local public library alone!

Here's my lesson plan for the week. You can click on the picture to view the full-size image.

I am very excited for this week. The Unbirthday Party is what I'm most looking forward to - I mean, who doesn't want to end their week with a party? And cupcakes, too! I also can't wait to see how their Nursery Rhymes Mad Libs turn out. The kids always get a kick out of Mad Libs when I bring them in, so a Nursery Rhymes edition should be fun for us all.

I'm a little disappointed that I couldn't get my hands on The Great Nursery Rhyme Disaster. It looks really funny. Maybe, if I'm lucky, one of the kids will bring it in.

Well, it's off to the library for me... I need to go pick up my books and finish up cutting and drawing and preparing the art projects for the new week. There's so much to be done!

Epi-Pen Training

Yesterday at work I attended a one-hour Epi-Pen Training in-service that I found very informational. I had never been Epi-Pen trained before but since two of the children in my current class need Epi-Pens (one for bee stings, the other for a cashew allergy) it was a good idea that I get trained, should the need ever arise for me to actually use their Epi-Pen on either one of them. Here's all the information I picked up:

• Children may not know how to accurately describe what an allergic reaction feels like so you need to pay close attention to the kinds of things they are saying to you. Generally if they're experiencing an allergic reaction they will either start playing with their tongue (because it feels funny) or talk about how their mouth/tongue feels. Examples of this are: "My tongue is tingling", "My mouth feels funny" ,"There's something stuck in my throat", "My lips feel tight", etc.
• There are three ways to administer epinephrine [Epi-Pen, Twinject, and Adrenaclick] and there are two different dosages of Epi-Pen [the junior dose is .15mg and the senior dose is .3mg]. The children at my center use the Epi-Pen.
• Epi-Pens must be stored at room temperature, out of the reach of children.
• You cannot use an Epi-Pen on a child without the proper medical forms that have been filled out by the child's physician. You need to make sure that the medical form, doctor's plan of care for the child and your center's plan of care for the child are all stored with the Epi-Pen in a Ziploc bags with a pair of gloves.
• Upon receiving the Epi-Pen you must check the expiration date and note when the medication expires... you cannot give a child an expired Epi-Pen.
• To use, just remove the cap of the Epi-Pen (on the junior dosage it's the blue end) and then stab the child in the outer thigh with the other end (orange, on the Epi-Pen Jr.). You must hold the Epi-Pen in the child's thigh for ten seconds before taking it out. The child will most likely be bleeding through their pants where they were injected so you must wear gloves. You can massage the area you injected the Epi-Pen into to get the medicine to work faster.
• After using the Epi-Pen, you may be required to give the child a dose of Benadryl (which should also be in the Ziploc bag with the Epi-Pen if that is required in their plan of care by their doctor). The Epi-Pen helps open the airways during an allergic reaction but does nothing else; the Benadryl helps with any swelling or rashes that develop associated with the allergic reaction.
• You must save the Epi-Pen (put it back in its container after use) and give it to the ambulance driver when they arrive to bring the child to the hospital. You must call 911 after administering the Epi-Pen because the dose you give the child will only last for about 20 minutes and they'll need more medical attention after that.
• It is important to know every child in the center that requires an Epi-Pen and to know where each Epi-Pen is stored; it is a good idea to have a monthly Epi-Pen drill to keep the information on how to use the Epi-Pen fresh in everyone's mind so that if the time ever comes when it is necessary to use it, you will know how to do so without panicking. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU REMAIN CALM.

There's other information about the Epi-Pen that we learned but that was the basic, most important, stuff that I took from the in-service. We also learned about the two other forms of epinephrine that can be administered (Twinject and Adrenaclick) but we didn't really go into detail on either one of those because no one at our center uses either. It was a very informative meeting and I feel that if I ever had to use the Epi-Pen on either of the children in my care who require them, I could do so without hesitation. I hope it never comes to that, of course, but it's always best to be prepared.

Little Bunny Foo-Foo

Little Bunny Foo-Foo,
Hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice,
And bopping them on the head.

And if you don't behave,
I'll turn you into a Goon!

(to the tune of: "I'm a Little Teapot")

I'm a little fishy, I can swim,
Here is my tail, here is my fin.
When I want to have fun with my friends,
I wiggle my tail and dive right in!

One, Two, Three, Four, Five

One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again.

Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right!

The Fluffy Little Rabbits

The fluffy little rabbits so soft and white
Went looking for some carrots one nice, warm night.
The fluffy little rabbits found a garden so big,
So they jumped into the garden and began to dig.

'Til they heard some footsteps coming and they froze in fright.
Then the fluffy little rabbits heard the Farmer say,
"Scat! little rabbits," and they all hopped away!

Hop, little rabbit - don't you stop.

How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?

How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
I do hope that doggie's for sale

I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome
And the doggie will have a good home

How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
I do hope that doggie's for sale

With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark

I don't want a bunny or a kitty
I don't want a parrot that talks
I don't want a bowl of little fishies
He can't take a goldfish for a walk

How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
I do hope that doggie's for sale!

Pet Games

Dog, Dog, Cat

This is just like Duck, Duck, Goose - the children sit in a circle and one child walks around the circle tapping the other children on the heads as he/she says "dog". If the child says "cat" then the person tapped on the head runs after the child. The child tries to make it back to the picked child's spot before the chosen one catches them.

Doggy, Doggy, Where's Your Bone?

One child goes into the middle of the circle and covers their eyes. The teacher gives a bone to one of the children. All of the children place their hands behind their backs. The children then say this chant:

Doggy, doggy, where's your bone?

Somebody stole it from your home.

Guess who? Guess who?

Who could it be? Could it be you?

The child in the middle then opens their eyes and tries to guess who has the bone.

Trainer Says

Play this game like Simon Says except instead of Simon doing the saying pretend to be a dog trainer. You could use: lie down, beg for a treat, roll over, speak, scratch your ear, wag your tail, and any other command that a dog trainer would use.

Love Your Pets

Love, love, love your pets
Love them every day;
Give them food and water too,
Then let them run and play!

Five Little Kittens

Five little kittens standing in a row
They nod their heads to the children, like so.
They run to the left, they run to the right,
They stand up and stretch in the bright sunlight.
Along comes a dog who’s in for some fun,
Meow, meow, meow - see those kittens run!

Long, Long Ago

Long, long ago - when the earth was young,
Dinosaurs live here right under the sun.
Some were big and some were small.
Some were fat and some were tall.
Some could swim, some could fly.
Some could stretch up, very high.
Don't you wish they still roamed free
And lived somewhere that you could see?

Stomp Around

(to the tune of: "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")

Stomp, stomp, stomp around,
On your great big feet.
Swish your tail,
Turn around,
Now go and take your seat!

Where, Oh Where, Did the Dinosaurs Go?

(to the tune of: "Where, Oh Where, Has My Little Dog Gone?")

Where, oh where, did the dinosaurs go?
Where, oh where, can they be?
They used to roam all around the swamp
But now they're gone, can't you see?

Where, oh where, did the dinosaurs go?
Why aren't they here anymore?
Volcano ash or a meteor crash,
Well, nobody knows how for sure.

Once There Was a Dinosaur

(to the tune of: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")

Once there was a dinosaur
And all he did was roar and roar.
He roared high and he roared low,
He roared fast and he roared slow.
Once there was a dinosaur
And all he did was roar and roar.

Five Hungry Dinosaurs

Five hungry dinosaurs wading through a swamp.
The first one said, "I like to stomp."
The second one said, "My stomach is growling."
The third one said, "It's time to go prowling."
The fourth one said, "Let's look for some food."
The fifth one said, "I'm in the mood."
Five hungry dinosaurs wading through a swamp.
They are very hungry. Chomp! Chomp! Chomp!

Hey There, Mister Dino

(to the tune of: "If You're Happy and You Know It")

"Hey there, Mister Dino, how are you?"
"Hey there, Mister Dino, how are you?"
You lived many years before
All the cars and homes and stores.
"I'm just wondering, Mister Dino, how are you?"

"Hey there, Mister Dino, how are you?"
"Hey there, Mister Dino, how are you?"
You're much taller than the trees
And you're much taller than me,
"So, hey, Mister Dino - how do you do?"

Dinosaur Friends

(to the tune of: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star")

Dinosaurs lived long ago,
Some ran fast and some moved slow.
Some ate plants and some ate meat.
Some were mean and some were sweet.
I'm glad I didn't live then
I wouldn't want dinosaur friends!

Dinosaur Egg

Inside her egg shell, white and round,
Baby dino is safe and sound.
But she wants to come out into the light,
So she pushes and shoves with all her might.
Her shell soon cracks and creaks and pops,
One big jump and out she pops!

Dinosaur Bedtime

Sleepy time for dinosaurs, time to have a rest.
Wag your tails, scratch your scales, curl up in your nest.
Dream about adventures that you liked the very best.
Sleepy time for dinosaurs, time to have a rest.

The Little Baby Dinosaur

(to the tune of: "The Itsy Bitsy Spider")

The little baby dinosaur
Climbed up to the top
Of a volcano
That was ready to pop!

Out came the lava,
So very, very hot
And the little baby dinosaur
Ran home without a stop!

Going on a Dinosaur Hunt

(kids chant back each line after you say it)

Going on a dinosaur hunt.
And I'm not afraid.
There's a tall mountain.
Can't go under it.
Can't go around it.
Guess I'll go over it.
Going on a dinosaur hunt.
And I'm not afraid.
There's a river.
Can't go over it.
Can't go under it.
Guess I'll swim across it.
Going on a dinosaur hunt.
And I'm not afraid.
There's some tall grass.
Can't go over it.
Can't go around it.
Guess I'll go through it.
Going on a dinosaur hunt.
And I'm not afraid.
There's a cave!
Can't go over it.
Can't go under it.
Guess I'll go in it.
It's dark and spooky in here.
It's cold in here!
I feel some scales.
I feel some big teeth!
OHH! It's a Dinosaur!
(kids say the following with you)
Run out of the cave,
Go through the grass,
Swim across the river,
Climb the mountain,
Run, hope,
Open the door,
Jump into bed.
I went on a dinosaur hunt,
And I wasn't afraid!

Dino Ditty

(to the tune of "Do Wah Ditty")

Here he comes just a stomping with his feet singing,
"Dino ditty, ditty dum, ditty do."
Searching all round for something good to eat singing,
"Dino ditty, ditty dum ditty do."
He's huge, (He's huge), He's strong, (He's strong.)
He's huge, he's strong, he won't be hungry very long.
"Dino ditty, ditty dum , ditty do."
"Dino ditty, ditty dum , ditty do."
"Dino ditty, ditty dum , ditty do."
"Dino ditty, ditty dum , ditty do."

Letting out a roar,
One went away,
And then there were four.

Munching on a tree,
One went away,
