1. It’s Pre-K!
I woke up this morning and put on my clothes
Eat a little breakfast, ‘cause everyone knows
I got something to do I better put on my shoes
It's so cool, I'm goin' to school It's Pre-K!
I play with friends both inside and out
If we have a problem, well we work it out
We eat a snack, when we're done
We share with everyone
It's so cool, when we're in school
It's Pre-K!
I got a cubbie where I put my things
For show and tell when everyone brings
A treasure to share I'll show my teddy bear
It's so cool, when we're in school It's Pre-K!
There's numbers and letters and shapes and more
In science we all get to explore
We're watching plants grow
There's so much to know
It's so cool, when we're in school [3X]
It's Pre-K!

Smile!
When you’re happy you will smile
And then in just a little while

Call a friend who’s always cared,
You’ll feel better when it’s shared
So you can smile.
When you’re so mad you want to fight,
Please do not hit or hurt or bite
Use your words to feel all right
So you can smile.
When something makes you want to cry,
Let the tears fall from your eye,
Then the sadness will pass by
So you can smile.

Six kitties and that is that

Rowboat, rowboat, cross the lake
How many crickets can you take?

Rowboat, rowboat, cross the lake
How many elephants can you take?

Sing, Sound & Count With Me
29. Ballet Dancing Truck Driver
One day my grandma asked me,
“What do you want to be?”
I thought and thought and thought some more
I want to be a truck driver [2X]
But as I was watching TV I thought,
Ballet’s the dance for me.
So now I know I want to be
A ballet dancing truck driver [2X]
Then I went to a baseball game
So now I want to be
A baseball player—Batter up!
And a ballet dancing truck driver [2X]
Then I went to the rodeo
So now I want to be
A cowpoke riding—Giddy up! A baseball player—
Batter up!
And a ballet dancing truck driver [2X]
I saw a new construction site,
So now I want to be A builder building—Tap, tap, tap
A cowpoke riding—Giddy up!
A baseball player—Batter up!
And a ballet dancing truck driver [2X]
I really do love helping
So now I want to be
A firefighter—I’ll save you!
A builder building—Tap, tap, tap
A cowpoke riding—Giddy up!
A baseball player—Batter up!
And a ballet dancing truck driver [2X]
Numbers & Math Pre-K Teacher’s Guide p. 26
I love to look for treasure!
So now I want to be
A pirate sailing—Aarr!
A firefighter—I’ll save you!
A builder building—Tap, tap, tap
A cowpoke riding—Giddy up!
A baseball player—Batter up!
And a ballet dancing truck driver [2X]
I looked up at the moon
And now I want to be
An astronaut—LIFT OFF!
A pirate sailing—Aarr!
A firefighter—I’ll save you!
A builder building—Tap, tap, tap
A cowpoke riding—Giddy up!
A baseball player—Batter up!
And a ballet dancing truck driver [2X]
One day my grandma asked me,
“What do you want to be?”
And I said, “I don’t know! There are so many
interesting things to be!”
And she said, “That’s OK! You have plenty
of time to decide.
And besides, you have lots of good ideas!
Like . . .
An astronaut—LIFT OFF!
A pirate sailing—Aarr!
A firefighter—I’ll save you!
A builder building—Tap, tap, tap
A cowpoke riding—Giddy up!
A baseball player—Batter up!
And a ballet dancing truck driver” [2X]

The songs link to activities in the Numbers & Math Pre-K Teacher’s Guide and the Language & Literacy
Pre-K Teacher’s Guide. They introduce concepts or reinforce them. For example, “Shape Song” names
shapes and also describes the characteristics of each one. Others help Pre-K children develop socialemotional skills, such as being able to transition smoothly from one activity to another, recognize
emotions, demonstrate positive self esteem, and learn to cooperate.
