Popcorn!

Yesterday, in my first grade class we sang a song called, "Pop! Goes the Popcorn!" When I got home I wanted to find that song and print it out for future use with the girl I nanny for but I could not find it anywhere! This morning I stumbled across, Popcorn Storytime which included finger plays, songs, poems and more. On the list was the song I was looking for- YAY! I adjusted the actions to match what we did in class but you can find the alternative actions and other poems, songs, crafts, books and more here.

Pop! Goes the Popcorn!
(Tune: Pop Goes the Weasel)

Sizzle goes the popcorn oil (wiggle fingers over head)
Click clack go the kernels (snap fingers)
Now we're waiting, (look like you're waiting)
When will it start? (Put up hands like you are wondering)
Pop! Goes the popcorn! (clap hands)

Poetry Cube

A few weeks ago for class I made a Poetry Cube. I chose mine on Fire Safety. I have a Transportation one that I want to make I just haven't gotten around to it yet. It was very easy and fun to make!

Take a box and wrap it up.

Add 6 cute and catchy poems about the theme you chose. 

Here are the poems I chose: 

Fire Can Be Helpful

Fire can be helpful
When handled with care.
But fire and children
Do not make a pair!
So don't play with matches
Or anything hot.
Adults may use fire,
But children should not!

Smoke Chant

If you don’t want to choke,

Crawl under the smoke.

Get down on the floor

And head for the door!  

Five Little Firefighters

Five little firefighters all in a row,

One, two, three, four, five they go!

Hop on the engine with a shout,

Quicker than a wink, the fire is out!

Firefighter 
The firefighter helps us learn our safety rules.
Playing with matches is only for fools.
If you see a fire, "help, you'll scream and shout!"

Dial 911.
The firefighter will put it out.

Five Little Firefighters
Five little firefighters
Sleeping in a row.
RING goes the bell!
Down the pole they go.
They jump on the engine,
And put out the fire.
Now they’re back home-
My, but they are tired!

The Firefighter

This firefighter rings the bell.
This firefighter holds the hose so well.
This firefighter slides down the pole.
This firefighter chops a hole.
This firefighter climbs higher and higher.
And all the firefighters put out the fire!
