The Kindergartners pose with "Sunny the Scarecrow" in Mrs. Perkins room.  Sunny has been a great source for reading, writing, and talking about all things Fall.  Look at those Happy Faces!

Welcome to Mrs. Perkins Language Arts Page.

Check here often to see what the K/1s are doing in their reading times.

These are some of our favorite songs and poems.
Have fun reading them to your family!

Colors
(Tune: (“London Bridge”)

Red and yellow, orange, too,

Pink and purple, brown and blue,

Green and tan, and black and white,

They are colors.

C-o-l-o-r-s

There Was a Little Turtle

There was a little turtle who lived in a box.

     He swam in a puddle, he climbed up the rocks.

He snapped at the minnow,

     he snapped at the flea,

He snapped at the mosquito,

     and he snapped at me.

He caught the minnow, he caught the flea,

     He caught the mosquito,

             but he couldn’t catch me!

People
(Tune: Three Blind Mice)


P-E-O P-L-E P-E-O P-L-E
There are people here and people there

People, people everywhere

P-E-O P-L-E

Because
(Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb)


B-e-c-a-u-s-e, u-s-e, u-s-e
B-e-c-a-u-s-e

That’s how you spell “Because.”

 

There is No “a” in “They
(Tune: Farmer in the Dell)


There is no “a” in “they”

There is no “a” in “they’

Just write “the” and add a “y”

It’s as easy as apple pie.
