The Song is based on the book and an example of the song and signs can be seen on http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5999895454096862176.. We will be singing and acting out the song weekly. Practice the song with the movements at home with your child In addition to these activities; we will be making Dog-ears. Happy March!
