complete the poem. (Examples: a shell, a dolphin, or a starfish.) The first time through the poem they will
use the word cards to match the words on the word cards to the words on the
sentence strips. For added fun, they may use a sand
shovel to point to the words as they sing the chart. Poem: Poem sung to:
“My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean” My ______ lies under the ocean. My ______ lies under the sea. My ______ lies under the ocean. Oh! Bring back my _____ to me. |

correctly. |
