Five Little Whales
Five big whales in the sea offshore
One swam up to spout and that left four.Four big whales in the deep blue sea
One swam up to spout and that left three.Three big whales in the sea so blue
One swam up to spout and that left two.Two big whales having loads of fun
One swam up to spout and that left one.One big whale longing for the sun
He swam up to spout, and that left none!
Waves in the Sea [tune: Wheels on the Bus]
The waves on the sea go up and down,
[Raise and lower arms.]
Up and down, up and down,
The waves on the sea go up and down
All day long.The giant squid in the sea paints his inky, inky, ink
[se finger like paint brush.]
Paints with his inky, inky, ink.
The giant squid in the sea paints his inky, inky, ink
All the day long.The shark in the sea goes snap, snap, snap
[Clap your hands.]
Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap
The shark in the sea goes snap, snap, snap,Z
All the day long.The fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish
[Swish back and forth.]
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish
The fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish
All the day long.

The clown fish lives lives in the ocean….
His neighbor is the seahorse.The seahorse lives in the ocean
The seahorse lives in the ocean.

The More We Read Together [Tune: The More We Get Together]
The more we read together, together, together,
The more we read together, the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together,
Is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
