 Gray Squirrel

Gray squirrel, gray squirrel,
Swish your bushy tail.
Gray squirrel, gray squirrel,
Swish your bushy tail.
Wrinkle up your little nose,
Hold a nut between your toes.
Gray squirrel, gray squirrel,
Swish your bushy tail.
Suit actions to words.

 

 Growing

When I was one, I was so small,
I could not speak a word at all.
When I was two, I learned to talk;
I learned to sing; I learned to walk.
When I was three, I grew and grew.
Now I am four, and so are you.
Suit actions to words.

Growth 

A little garden seed
Left hand closed.
Is lying in its bed.
A warm spring sun
Form circle above head with fingers of right hand.
Is shining overhead.
Down came the raindrops
Right hand descends with fingers moving to and fro.
Dancing to and fro.
The little seed awakens
Forefinger extends from hand and rises upward.
And starts to grow.
