Okay before I go into the songs...I have another suggestion for music. I believe it is called Raffi's childrens favorites. I took several songs from this songbook and then found it as a 3 CD set and it is great.
The songs I used from his songbook are "The corner grocery store", "Peanut Butter Sandwich", and "Brush your teeth". Oh, I changed the words in peanut butter sandwich to peanut butter and honey, 1 for me and 1 for my friend Sunny. Then I taught them sign language for Happy Thanksgiving and sang those word to Happy Birthday tune. I read "Over the River" by Derek Anderson. I also read "A Turkey for Thanksgiving" by Eve Bunting pictures by Diane de Groat.
The next week I read a different version Over the River by David Catrow and taught them the first verse of that song. I brought a mini stuffed animal turkey and sang "there's a turkey on my head, on my head" (or knee, toe, elbow, etc) to the tune "If you're happy and you know it". I just reviewed the other 4 songs and called it a great Friday.
