Early Literacy Tip of the Week:
Babies love books with pictures of other babies, with textures, or with animal sounds!
Good Morning
Hello, How are You?
Do Your Ears Hang Low
Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder like a Continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

How much is that doggie in the window?

How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie’s for sale.

If You’re a Doggie and You Know It
If you’re a doggie and you know it,
Say, “Woof, woof”.
If you’re a doggie and you know it,
Say, “Woof, woof”.
If you’re a doggie and you know it,
And you really want to show it,
If you’re a doggie and you know it,
Say, “Woof, woof”.
Repeat with give a lick, scratch your ears.

I Wiggle My Fingers
Book Two
Eli, No! by Katie Kirk
After My Bath
After my bath…I try, try, try
To rub myself till I’m dry, dry, dry (pretend to rub body with a towel)
Hands to dry and fingers and toes (point to body parts)
Two wet legs and one shiny nose (point to body parts)
Just think how much less time it would take
If I were a dog and could shake, shake, shake! (shake whole body)
This is the Way We Bounce
This is the way we
Bounce, bounce, bounce.
Bounce, bounce, bounce.
Bounce, bounce, bounce.
This is the way we bounce, bounce, bounce
Early in the morning. Wheeee!
