Good Morning

Feeling Fine
(Tune: “I'm In Right, Out Right, Happy All the Time” – Going Green CD)

I'm in right, (Hold up both index fingers and point to chest.)
Out right, (Point out with index fingers.)
Up right, (Reach up high.)
Down right, (Stoop down low.)
And I'm feeling fine. (Turn around in a circle.)

I'm in right, out right, up right, down right, and I'm feeling fine.
I eat the food that's good. (Pretend to feed self with a spoon.)
And exercise like I should. (Run in place.)
That's why I'm in right, out right, up right, down right,
and I'm feeling fine.

Calendar Song

Months of the Year Rap
(Totally Math CD)

Chorus:
January, February,
March, April, May, June, July
(The months of the year!)
August, September,
October, November, December
(Repeat Chorus)

This is a song with lots of cheer,
A song about the twelve months in the year,
A song to help you to remember
All the way from January to December.
Some months are cold and some are hot,
Some are rainy and some are not.
So listen up and then you’ll know
How all of the months do come and go.
Chorus

First January and February,
The time of year that’s cold and dreary.
In March things start to get much better;
By April and May there’s springtime weather.
Then come June, July, and August,
The time of year when it is hottest.
The only way you can get cool
Is to jump right into a swimming pool.
In September and October,
The weather starts to get much colder.
Halloween comes and then its gone;
In November Thanksgiving comes along.
But the last of the months in the year
Is the month with the greatest holiday cheer—
December, now we’ve reached the end
And all the months start over again!
Chorus
