MY FEELINGS

When I am sad, I feel like crying. (rub eyes)When I am proud, I feel like trying. (head held high)When I feel curious, I want to know. (look up, wondering)When I'm impatient, I want to go! (cross arms, tap foot)When I feel angry, I look this way. (angry look)When I feel happy, I smile all day. (big smile)When I am puzzled, I make a shrug. (shrug shoulders)When I feel loving, I want to hug. (hug yourself)

I HAVE SO MANY PARTS TO ME

I have two hands to clap with (clap)One nose with which to smell (sniff)I have one head to think with (tap head)Two lungs that work quite well (take a deep breath)I have two eyes that let me see (point to eyes)I have two legs that walk (walk in place)I have two ears that help me hear (cup hands to ears)A mouth with which to talk.

MY HANDS

My hands upon my head I'll placeUpon my shoulders, on my face.At my waist, and by my sideThen I raise them way up highAnd let my fingers fly, fly, fly.Then clap, clap, clap and one, two, threeJust see how quiet they can be.

Why Am I? 

Why am I so skinny and small? Why aren`t I like you so medium and tall? Why aren`t I as old as you,or as bold as you? Why aren`t I like my friends, to the very end? I hate being oh little me, for I am nearly as small as a bee.
