Tick Tock, Tick Tock(Sung to the tune of “Baa Baa, Black Sheep”)

Lyrics by Heidi Kellenberger and Dona Herweck Rice

(Move head or one arm side to side while singing this song.)

Tick tock, tick tock, time goes by so fast.Why, oh, why, oh, does it pass?

Seconds each minute.Minutes each hour.Hours each day chime from the clock tower.



Seconds each minute.Minutes each hour.Hours each day chime from the clock tower.


Lyrics by Heidi Kellenberger and Dona Herweck Rice

(Move head or one arm side to side while singing this song.)

Tick tock, tick tock, time goes by so fast.

Hours each day chime from the clock tower.


Minutes each hour.Hours each day chime from the clock tower.



Hours each day chime from the clock tower.

Tick tock, tick tock, time goes by so fast.Tick tock, tick tock, time goes by so fast.

• Gather children together on the rug. Show the front of the card again. Read the sentence to children, pointing to each word as you read it aloud. Ask them to read the sentence with you, as you point to the words.

• Show children the second hand and minute hand on the picture. Explain that the second hand moves much faster than the minute hand. If possible, show children a real analog clock. Let them watch the minute and second hand for one minute. Ask children to share what they notice. Lead them to the idea that the second hand moves all the way around the clock before the minute hand moves once.

• Show children the front of the card. Point to the word analog. Write the word analog on the board. Ask children to name each letter in the word. Ask them to say the sound the letter a makes in the fi rst part of analog. Have children practice making the /ă/ sound.

• Ask children to name words that begin with the /ă/ sound. Record their responses on the board. When children are fi nished naming words, read the list and underline the letter a in each word. Ask them to repeat each word.

• Repeat this process with the other letters in the word analog.

Gather children together on the rug. Show them the picture on the front of the card. Have them take turns describing what they see. Read the words and the sentence aloud to children. Have them repeat the words after you. Ask children what analog clocks are used for (tells what time it is), what shape the clock is (a circle), and how many hands are on the clock (three).

The Day

Daylight glimmers.The sun climbs high as it travels through the sky.

4 5

You jump from bed and start to play as light and shadow color your day.

6 7

You’re ready to move.You’re feeling fine!For you and the sun, it’s time to shine.

The starlight shines.The sun is down.The moonlight falls upon the ground.

And in your room, all tucked in bed, you fall asleep.Dreams fill your head.

16

It’s time to dream.The sandman’s near.Goodnight, sweet child, the night is here.

Is it daytime or nighttime? Take a look inside to see what happens during the day and night.
