Preschool Storytime - Letter a

Today's "a is for apple" craft
Today began our fall session of Preschool Express, and we are so happy to be back into the swing of things with our letter of the week!

Songs we sang today:

"The Airplane Song" (Laurie Berkner)

Get in your airplanes and off we go
Going to the park is first, you know.
Now slow it down and land on the ground
And when you get out you're gonna jump all around.

…California…spin all around
…New York City…gallop all around
…playground…dance all around

Get back in your airplanes, it's time to go home
Your family and friends are waiting you know
Now slow it down and land on the ground
And come sit down in your own hometown.

"Alligator In The Elevator" (Rick Charette)

Chorus:
There's an alligator in the elevator.
I can't believe what I see.
There's an alligator in the elevator
and it's making eyes at me.

And I’d like to make it there alive.
