Each of the children holds one of our little counting bears. I sing "Bippity Boppity Bose, there's a teddy bear on my...(nose)". Then we all put the bears on our noses. If the children have trouble finishing the rhyme, I give them a hint by holding the bear near my nose. I love this song because even the littlest ones at my StrongStart centre can participate.Terrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670890417164453591.post-71232832487063343012012-03-07T20:55:10.458-08:002012-03-07T20:55:10.458-08:00Thanks Sarah for your comments.

Will need to do more research on the topic.<br />Funny that you mention Wibbly Wobbly, driving home today after a long busy day and thinking about rhyming that is the song that came to mind. Will try it and see what happens.<br />Thanks againStrongStarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00135722042660587451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670890417164453591.post-88260943278967879342012-03-07T19:20:15.784-08:002012-03-07T19:20:15.784-08:00Maureen, rhyme is really hard even for our fours a...Maureen, rhyme is really hard even for our fours and fives.They all come from very at-risk families and are all ELL though, so there's that. Still, I feel like I hear K teachers say the same thing every year though. Are we expecting too much too soon? I would bargain more rhyming opportunities might help....I sing the Wibbly Wobbly Song (Wibble Wobbly Wiffany, an Elephant sat on Tiffany; Wibbly Wobbly Wyan, an Elphant sat on Bryan) during transitions a lot.Sarahnoreply@blogger.com
