Dear Parents,

The preschool years are very important and we want your child to be as ready as possible for Prep. This is not just about knowing letters and numbers, it is also about knowing how to learn and get along with others. We will be using the Second Step early learning program as part of the kindergarten program to teach these important skills.

As an introduction to the Second Step Program, over the past few weeks, the children have been learning the lyrics to ‘The listening rules’ song. The children have been enjoying this song and we thought it would be great if we connected our parents with the program.  Included below are the lyrics and the action (cards) for our new song. We hope you will be singing along soon.

Song: ‘The Listening Rules’ Song

Tune: “Are You Sleeping?”

Eyes are watching, (do action: point to eyes)

Ears are listening, (do action: point to ears)

Voices quiet, (do action: make shh! sign)

Bodies calm, (do action: hug yourself)

This is how we listen,

This is how we listen,

At group time, (Change words: ‘at circle time’, ‘at music time’, ‘at dinner time’)

At group time (Change words: ‘at circle time’, ‘at music time’, ‘at dinner time’)
