Rhyme
We have Ice Cream the best in Town
Let us Begin with Chocolate Brown
Now, let us scoop up some bubble gum pink
It’s sweet and yummy, the best some think.
Here is ice cream minty and green,
It is the creamiest I have ever seen.
Yellow ice cream is lemony and tart,
We like its taste from the very start.
Scoops of blueberry would make my day,
Look at all this ice cream, hip, hip hurray.
Red ice cream is a strawberry delight,
All these scoops are a heavenly sight.
Vanilla white is a popular flavor,
It tastes very good to an ice-cream craver.
Purple ice cream really gives me a kick,
Good and yummy till the very last lick.
Ice cream, ice cream, what a cool sensation,
We love ice cream in any combination!
Thanks For visiting! Hope to see you all next week.

Song:
(tune of Grand Old Duke of York)
Oh, a dragon is very fierce,
a dragon is very tough,
and when he breathes out orange fire,
his smoke comes out in puffs.
His scales are shiny green,
they make a rattling sound,
his teeth go chomp,
his tail goes thump,
as it hits upon the ground!

Song: If You Ever See A Monster

If you ever see a monster,
A big ugly monster.
If you ever see a monster,
Here’s what you do!
Make this face……
And this face…..
And this face…..
And this face…..
If you ever see a monster…

Rhyme: The Brave Fireman
This brave fireman is going to bed (hold up right thumb)
Down on the pillow he lays his head ( right thumb on left palm)
Wraps himself in his blanket tight (curl fingers around thumb )
And plans to sleep this way all night (close eyes)
But the fire alarm rings!
He opens his eyes! (open eyes)
Quickly he’s dressed and down the pole he slides
(right hand slides down left arm in a grip from elbow to wrist)
Then he climbs on the truck to go, go, go.
(hands manipulate imaginary steering wheel)
