These are songs your child enjoyed:

Mama Newt Said

(sing to the tune of Rock-a-Bye Baby)

“Let me protect you,”

Mama Newt said.

“I’ll keep you safe and

Make sure that you’re feed.

A crow is an enemy.

A snake is one too.

Papa and I will

Watch over you.”

“Try to be careful,”

Mama Newt smiled.

“I know there are dangers

Out here in the wild.

If we keep our eyes open

And keep our hearts linked,

Then there is no chance

Of becoming extinct.”


A Good Environment

(sing to the tune of The Farmer in the Dell)

A good environment,

A good environment,

All living things require

A good environment.

From bears, to deer, to birds,

To bees, and tiny ants,

All animals get shelter and

The food they need from plants.

A good environment,

A good environment,

All living things can thrive

In a good environment.


We Are So Industrious

(Sing to the tune of This Old Man)

We work hard. We don't fuss.

We are so industrious.

Each individual has a job to do.

We think we're a special crew.

Each of us plays a part.

We turn work into art.

We are proud that we all

do our very best.

Each of us helps out the rest
