Song: The Wheels on the Bus (Sessions 1 & 2); Monkeys on the Bed (Session 3)
Song: I'm a Little Teapot (Sessions 1 & 2); Chickadee by Lisa Monet (from My Best Friend) (Session 3)
Flannel Board Song: My Aunt Came Back (borrowed, with gratitude, from Mel's Desk)
The first group hated this (there was eye-rolling) and I almost didn't repeat it, but then I came up with a final verse that got everyone's attention the second time around, and it was a winner by the end of the third session.

to Washington, DC
and she brought with her
a hug for me!Song: Tia Monica (borrowed from King County Library System)
Song: ABCD Medley
