Songs in our Library

This song from our library has been modified from the book, Hi Ho Librario by Judy Freeman.

Hi Ho Librario

(to the tune of the Farmer in the Dell)

The author writes the book                      Hands go up and down

The author writes the book                        as if you were writing

Hi Ho Librario

The author writes the book

The title tells you its name                      Hands pretend to hold the

The title tells you its name                       lapel of your jacket

Hi Ho Librario

The title tells you its name

The illustrator draws the pictures            Hands make a small circle

The illustrator draws the pictures

Hi Ho Librario

The illustrator draws the pictures

The publisher puts it together                  Clap on together

The publisher puts it together

Hi Ho Librario

The publisher puts it together

The copyright tells you when                 Look at your watch

The copyright tells you when

Hi Ho Librario

The copyright tells you when

The call number tells you where to find it         Put your hand on

The call number tells you where to find it         your forehead to

Hi Ho Librario                                                 search in the distance

The call number tells you where to find it.

The vocabulary words above are included in the MCAS test.  Call number also answers the question, Are the books in the library in an order.  Yes, by call number. I have the children do the hands and words in order to use as many senses as possible.  This increases the ability to recall the memory since it has been made with more than one pathway.
