Hickety Pickety

Hickety Pickety Bumble Bee.

Won’t you say your name for me?
(Child says his/her name)

Let’s clap it!

Doughnut Shop

WELL, I ran around the corner,

and I ran around the block.

And I bumped right into the Doughnut Shop – OUUFFF!

WELL, I scooped up the doughnut,

and I wiped off the grease,

and I handed the lady a 5 cent piece.

WELL, she looked at the money,

and she looked at me,

and she said, “This money is no good

you see!

THERE’S a hole in the money

and goes right through.”
I said, “Thanks for the doughnut!

Toodle Loo!”

Number Writing Poems

0- Around we go to make zero. 

1- A straight line down is so much fun, that's the way we make a one. 

2- For number two go right around, then make a line across the ground. 

3- Around the tree and around the tree, that's the way we make a three. 
4- Down and across and down once more, that's the way we make a four. 

5- Go down and around and then you stop. Finish the five with a line on top.
