Counting Time: Fireworks

I know the Fourth of July has passed, but I decided to write this post anyway. After all, the holiday weekend isn't over yet and next to celebrating our country's independence and those who protect it, fireworks are a central feature of the Fourth. In fact, I can't recall a single Independence Day when I didn't attend at least one patriotic display. You can find them all over our city, from the park to downtown to neighbor's front yards, and despite the inclement weather, this year was no exception.

I think fireworks deserve their own place in the "Counting Time" collection, and my students agree. We have been counting them for the last week or so, along with flags, suns and ice cream comes. You know the tune by now, so go ahead and sing along:



Counting time, it's counting time,
So let's all sing this simple rhyme.
Ten little fireworks in a row,
Now let's count them nice and slow:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Again!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

How many fireworks?
Ten little fireworks.
All lined up in a row!

Hope you had the chance to enjoy some fireworks in your neck of the woods, and that you have the opportunity to relax on this lazy Sunday (which is exactly what I'm doing). Bye for now!
