Subject: RE: Pre Schoolers' music
I'd also like to share two songs that my daughter taught me this morning. Both are days of the week songs. My daughter learned the first song from her girlfriend who learned it from her 4 year old pre-school age son. He learned it from his pre-school teacher:

Today Is Monday
[to the tune "Oh My Darling, Clementine"

Today is Monday.
Today is Monday.
Today is Monday
all day long.
All day long today is Monday
Today is Monday
all day long.

[use this pattern for the other days of the week, and end with this verse]

There are 7 days.
There are 7 days
There are 7 days
of the week.
Every week
there are 7 days
There are 7 days of the week.

-snip-

Here's the 2nd days of the week song that my daughter sings with her kindergarten class. She learned it from another teacher:

Days Of The Week

[tune: "The Addams Family" television show theme]

Days of the week [snap snap]*
Days of the week [snap snap]*
Days of the week
Days of the week
Days of the week
[snap snap]*

There's Sunday and there's Monday.
There's Tuesday and there's Wednesday.
There's Thursday and there's Friday.
And then there's Saturday.

Days of the week [snap snap]*
Days of the week [snap snap]*
Days of the week
Days of the week
Days of the week
[snap snap]*


* snap your fingers two times.

This song might also work for older pre-school children:

Enjoy!!
