Eencey Weencey Spider Eencey Weencey spider Climed up the water spout; Down came the rain, And washed poor Eencey out; Out came the sun And dried up all the rain; And the Eencey Weencey spider Rain Pictures Start out with white construction paper and water-based markers. Place the papers out in the rain for 1-2 minutes (you could also spritz with a water sprayer if the rain won't cooperate). Bring the papers in and blot them dry with a paper towel, leave them to dry thoroughly. The effect is beautiful. If All the Raindrops If all the raindrops were lemondrops and gumdrops Oh, what a rain that would be! Standing outside, with my mouth open wide Singing La la la la, la la la, la la la, If all the raindrops were lemondrops and gumdrops Oh, what a rain that would be! Rain Song (Tune of The Wheels On The Bus) Rain is wet and it falls like this, falls like this, falls like this. Rain is wet, and it falls like this, See how it falls. The Rain Goes Drip - Drip (Tune to: The Farmer In The Dell) The Rain goes drip - drop, The rain goes drip - drop, Drip drop, how it does plop, The rain goes drip drop. The rain goes splish splash. The rain goes splish splash. Splish splash, how it does dash. The rain goes splish splash. Rain, Rain Rain, rain, go away Come again some other day We want to go outside and play Come again some other day * Optional lyrics: change third line to say: (child's name)'s friends all want to play Raindrops Rain is falling down Rain is falling down (raise arms, flutter fingers to the ground) Pitter-patter Pitter-patter Rain is falling down.

| Words of Wisdom YOUR HABITS WILL PUSH YOU TO SUCCESS First you make your habits, and then your habits make you. Break those habits that can break you. Adopt those practices that will become the new habits that will help you achieve the success you desire. Your habits are a form of exercise. The harder you work at something, the harder it is to quit. The easier it is to do, the harder it is to change. Your habits are either the best of servants or the worst of masters. You are what you repeatedly do. |
