Wiggles, August 24th and 25th, 2011

Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake My Sillies Out.

Book: Wiggle by Doreen Cronin; illustrated by Scott Menchin.

Rhyme: We Can.

             

We can jump, jump, jump,

            (Do actions as rhyme indicates.)

We can hop, hop, hop.

We can clap, clap, clap,

We can stop, stop, stop.

We can nod our heads for yes,

We can shake our heads for no.

We can bend our knees a tiny bit

And sit down slow.
