We are Little Seedlings
We are little seedlings,
We love spring.
We need the sun and watering.
Plant us in the soil if you please,
When we grow up we'll be big trees.
Garden Song written by David Mallett
Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow.
All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground.
Inch by inch, row by row, someone bless these seeds I sow.
Someone warm them from below
Til the rain comes tumbling down.
Pullin’ weeds and pickin’ stones,
We are made of dreams and bones.
I feel the need to grow my own cause the time is close at hand.
Grain for grain, sun and rain I’ll find my way in nature’s chain.
Tune my body and my brain to the music of the land.[Chorus] Plant your rows straight and long,
Temper them with prayer and song.
Mother earth will keep you strong if you give her love and care.
An old crow watching hungrily from his perch in yonder tree.
In my garden I’m as free as that feathered thief up there.
Inchworm by Frank Loesser (Featured in the biographical movie "Hans Christian Andersen.")
Inch worm, inch worm Measuring the marigolds
Could it be, stop and see How beautiful they areChorus: Two and two are four
Four and four are eight
Eight and eight are sixteen
Sixteen and sixteen are thirty-two
Inchworm, inchworm Measuring the marigolds
You and your arithmetic You'll probably go far(Repeat Chorus)
Inchworm, inchworm Measuring the marigolds
Seems to me you'd stop and see
How beautiful they are.
There was a puppy in this book
and Bingo was his name-o.
B - I - N - G - O, B - I - N - G - O, B - I - N - G - O,
And Bingo was his name-o.
The More We Read Together [Tune: The More We Get Together]
The more we read together, together, together,
The more we read together, the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together,
Is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
