If Your Happy and You Know It

If your happy and you know it, jump up and down.
If your happy and you know it, jump up and down.
If your happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If your happy and you know jump up and down!

If your happy and you know it, dance back and forth.
If your happy and you know it, dance back and forth.
If your happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If your happy and you know it, dance back and for!

If your happy and you know it, wiggle around.
If your happy and you know it, wiggle around.
If your happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If your happy and you know it, wiggle around!

If your happy and you know it, take a nap. Snore, Snore
If your happy and you know it,  take a nap. Snore, Snore
If your happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If your happy and you know it,  take a nap. Snore, Snore!

 

The Wheels on the Bus

The wheels on the bus go round and round
round and round, round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All day long.

 

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.
