Books We Shared<\/h4>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Roar, Roar Baby<\/a> by Karen Katz follows Baby around the zoo looking for tiger behind flaps that lift to expose other hidden animals.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Anita Bijsterbosch’s Everyone Is Yawning<\/a> also sports adorable flaps to lift, that show animals yawning and show their teeth.<\/p>\n

\n

Flannel Boards We Shared<\/h4>\n

Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Based on the book<\/a> by Bill Martin, Jr. and Eric Carle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One Elephant on a Spiderweb<\/strong><\/p>\n

(a translation of “Un elefante,” a Spanish nursery rhyme)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One elephant went out one day
\non a spider’s web to play
\nOh so big, up so high
\nHe called for another elephant to try
\n(drumroll on laps) Eeeeelephant! (make elephant trumpeting sound)<\/p>\n

Two elephants…
\nThree elephants…
\nFour elephants…<\/p>\n

Five elephants went out one day
\non a spider’s web to play
\nThe web went creak, the web went crack
\nAnd down came the elephants…. (drumroll)… smack smack smack!<\/p>\n

\n

Puppets<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I hid some puppets in a large clean trash bin and brought them out one by one, reciting this rhyme:<\/p>\n

I went to the visit the zoo one day
\nSaw a lion along the way!
\nAnd what do you think I heard him say?
\n[roar]<\/p>\n

Welcome Welcome<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome, welcome everyone
\nNow we’re here, let’s have some fun!
\nFirst you clap your hands just so,
\nThen you bend and touch your toe.
\nWelcome, welcome everyone
\nNow we’re here, let’s have some fun!<\/p>\n

You Can Hear<\/strong><\/p>\n

(to the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)<\/p>\n

You can hear the lions roaring at the zoo, ROAR! ROAR!
\nYou can hear the lions roaring at the zoo, ROAR! ROAR!
\nYou can hear the lions roaring, you can hear the lions roaring
\nYou can hear the lions roaring at the zoo! ROAR! ROAR!<\/p>\n
