Parents always ask me what songs we sing in the classroom because their kids are coming home requesting that they sing the songs for them. I have created a list of songs that we sing in the classroom this was done from the top of my head songs that I find myself signing to the kids almost everyday. If your child is coming home with a song that you don't see on the list let me know and I will add it. I will add more ones I think of more songs that are constantly requested aside from your typical "A,B,C... wheals on the bus, and tinkle tinkle little start." I am sorry that this took so long but it takes time to find the right lyrics we use and I have added a link to youtube so that you can hear the tune to the song as sometimes just the lyrics are not helpful. Have fun singing with your kids and let me know what other songs to add.
A Sailor Went to Sea
(hand motion hand to the forehead as if you are looking at to sea every time you say see see see)
A Sailor went to sea, sea, sea
To see what he could see, see, see
But all that he could see, see, see
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea

Baa, baa black sheep
Baa, baa black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full
One for my master
One for my dame
One for the little boy
Who lives down the lane
Baa, baa black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full!

Baby Bumble Bee
I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me, (Cup hands together as if holding bee)
I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee,
Ouch! It stung me! (Shake hands as if just stung)
I'm squishing up the baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me, ('Squish' bee between palms of hands)
I'm squishing up a baby bumblebee,
Eeew! It's yucky! (Open up hands to look at 'mess')
I'm wiping off the baby bumblebee,
Won't my mommy be so proud of me, (Wipe hands off on shirt)
I'm wiping off the baby bumblebee,
All clean! (Hold hands up to show they are clean)
*the video for the bumble bee song it’s a little strange but it has it how we sing the song… I do give the kids the option to wipe off the bee or lick it but we end the same way by saying “all clean!”*

Dingle Dangle Scarecrow
When all the cows are sleeping and the sun has gone to bed.
Up jumps the scarecrow and this is what he said. “I’m a dingle dangle scarecrow, with a flippy floppy hat. I can shake my hands like this and shake my feet like that”.

Five Little Ducks

Over the hill and far away
Mama duck said
"Quack, quack, quack, quack."
But only four little ducks came back.

"Quack, quack, quack." (in a sad crying way)
And all of the five little ducks came back.

One, two, three, four, five
One, two, three, four, five.
Once I caught a fish alive,
Six, seven, eight, nine ,ten,
Then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right.

Racecar
Vroom, vroom goes the car down the racecar track
Vroom, vroom goes the car down the racecar track
No slowing down, no turning back
Vroom, vroom goes the car down the racecar track
Put on your helmets
Tighten up the straps
Pedal to the medal
No going back
Vroom, vroom goes the car down the racecar track
Vroom, vroom goes the car down the racecar track
No slowing down, no turning back
Vroom, vroom goes the car down the racecar track
Put on your helmets
Tighten up the straps
Pedal to the medal
No going back
(I’m sorry no youtube link that I could find… but I would be more than happy to sing this to you or your child may assist with the tune)
