I
hear the whistle, then the clackety-clack,
Of a shiny new train coming down the track.
Of a shiny new train coming down the track.
I
see the engineer waving to the crowd,
His beaming smile shows he's happy and proud!
His beaming smile shows he's happy and proud!
Another
whistle as the train slows right down,
Then pulls to a stop at the station in our town.

Let's ride the new train this wonderful day!

Gluing Black Paper Squares
We did a very simple pasting activity using some cut construction
paper pieces. This was Little B's (19 mo) first time doing something like this
and he did pretty well! I showed him how to put the pieces on the glue and pat
them a bit, which he did., but he also just liked to run his fingers in the
glue and take the pieces off haha, but that's just part of the exploration
process of FIRST ART. My oldest used his glue stick to use the black squares to
make his own collage which he said was a treasure map.

Little
Boy Blue, come blow your horn!
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn.
Where is the boy who looks after the sheep?
He's under the haystack, fast asleep.

Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
