Hello, How are You by Dr. Jean

We shared some of our favorite smells: grass, flowers, cereal, shampoo, and...COOKIES!

Who Stole the Cookies? by Judith Moffatt

Ch-Ch-CHo Chocolate Chip Cookies on CD Rockin' Reading Readiness. We danced around with ribbons, making circles and fun movements!

Mucky Moose by Jonathon Allen. Anytime I said "Mucky," the children plugged their noses and hollered "PPPEE EWWW!!"









Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes. We started out super slow and whispering, then faster and louder, faster and louder until we were out of breath and couldn't go any faster!
