Library Field Trip: Davison Area Library Branch

We visited the Davison Area Branch to sing a song.

Song: The Grand Old Duke of York

The Grand Old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men.
He marched them to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again.
And when they were UP, they were UP!
And when they were DOWN, they were DOWN!
And when they were only halfway up,
They were neither UP nor DOWN!

Story: The Three Billy Goats Gruff with puppets (adapted by Marissa from the original folktale)

Song/Oral Story: The Three Billy Goats Gruff

Trip, trap, trip, trap – across the bridge they come
Trip, trap, trip, trap – crossing one by one
Trip, trap, trip, trap – baby takes a stroll
Trip, trap, trip, trap – over the sleeping troll
Trip, trap, trip, trap – louder taps I hear
Trip, trap, trip, trap – middle goat is near
Trip, trap, trip, trap – stomps the biggest goat
Trip, trap, trip, trap – troll goes in the moat!

Dragon, dragon sit on the floor.
