The Church

May 27, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

The Church

This is the church.
Here is the steeple.
Open the doors
And see all the people.

Now close the doors.
It’s time to pray.
Now look inside.
They’ve all gone away!

2 Little Friends

April 2, 2015 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Two Little Friends

One little friend came to school one day.
He went to the blocks and began to play.
A second little friend said, “Can I play, too?”
The first little friend said, “I’ll share with you!”
So they worked together and built a big town.
And when they were finished, they knocked it down!

Actions for Two Little Friends

One little friend came to school one day.
(hold up index finger)
He went to the blocks and began to play.
(bob hand to indicate movement)
A second little friend said, “Can I play, too?”
(hold up second index finger and wiggle it)
The first little friend said, “I’ll share with you!”
(wiggle the first index finger)
So they worked together and built a big town.
(wiggle both fingers)
And when they were finished, they knocked it down!
(clap hands together)
