Wee Read - On Our Way

Early Literacy Tip of the Week:

Talk with children, not at them - talk is much more effective when it's interactive

Good Morning

Hello, How are You?

Did You Ever See an Airplane?

Sung to: "Did You Ever See a Lassie?"

Did you ever see an airplane,

An airplane, and airplane?

Did you ever see an airplane

Way up in the sky?

There are big ones and small ones

And short ones and tall ones.

Did you ever see an airplane

Way up in the sky?

The Elevator Song

Sung to: "Do Your Ears Hang Low?"

Oh the city is great and the city is grand

There's a whole lot of people

on a little piece of land

And we live way up on the 57th floor

and this is what we do when we go out the door.

We take the elevator up and the elevator down,

take the elevator up, take the elevator down

Take the elevator up and the elevator down

and we turn around.
