1, 2, 3 Go! Here Comes the Sun!

We are continuing to explore weather and spring seasonal elements at the 1, 2, 3 Go!  class this week.  Take some some this week to engage your child in talking about the spring weather and what happens after it rains...the sun comes out!  Ask questions such as, "what does the sun do?", or "what color is the sun?" and then, "what other objects are yellow?". Developing a conversation with your child is important as he or she learns to communicate ideas and information, which leads to comprehension.  By learning how to communicate and comprehend, children are learning essential early literacy and reading skills.

Yellow Song (sung to the tune of 'If You're Happy and You Know It')
Y-E-L-L-O-W spells yellow.
Y-E-L-L-O-W spells yellow.
Like the bright and early sun when the day has just begun
Y-E-L-L-O-W spells yellow.
Ducklings and bananas are YELLOW.
Lemons and flowers are YELLOW.
Like a smiley face is yellow he is such a happy fellow
Y-E-L-L-O-W spells yellow.

Mister Sun Song

Please shine down on...
Please shine down on...
Please shine down on me!
