Yummy Yucky by Leslie Patricelli
Flannel Board
Five little cookies, with frosting galore.
Mother ate the pink one, then there were four.
Four little cookies, two and two, you see,
Father ate the green one, then there were three.
Three little cookies, but before I knew,
Sister ate the blue one, then there were two.
Two little cookies, oh, what fun!
Brother ate the orange orange one, then there was one.
One little cookie, watch me run!
I ate the red one, then there none!

This is big, big, big (hold arms out to the side)
This is small, small, small. (cup hands together)
This is short, short, short. (hold hands with palms facing together)
This is tall, tall, tall. (Reach one hand above head)
This is fast, fast, fast. (circle fists quickly)
This is slow, slow, slow. (circle fists slowly)
This is yes, yes, yes. (nods head)
This is no, no, no. (shake head).

Good-bye Song

Good-bye, good-bye,
We’ll see you soon,
See you soon, see you soon.
Good-bye, good-bye
We’ll see you soon,
On another day.
How are you today?
Observations
I substituted for my co-worker for her walkers’ program, as she got hitched this past weekend. She gave me a full program of different songs and activities, and I just picked which things I wanted to do.
The flannel board was my favorite part. As I read each line, I acted like I was eating the cookie.
