Franklin The Turtle Videos

The popular Franklin The Turtle videos are favorites for many kids.  I started to watch them when I was three.  I still enjoy watching them now.  My mom used to borrow the DVDs from the local library.  Sometimes she forgot to return them on time and got fined for overdue.  Now there are many Franklin The Turtle videos on Youtube.com.  My mom helps me put them together so that I can share them with you.

Franklin is a growing young turtle who can count by twos and tie his shoes. He lives with his parents Mr. and Mrs Turtle in a small village.  He has a younger sister called Harriet.  His best friend is Bear.  Franklin likes swimming, arts and crafts.  He is especially good at drawing. His favorite food is shoofly pie (though none of his friends like it). He is afraid of the dark and of thunderstorms. Every night he sleeps with his blue blanket and stuffed dog Sam. During the thunder storms when Franklin is scared Sam and his blue blanket help keep him calm.  Franklin has a pet fish called Goldie.  Now you know a lot about Franklin.  Let’s watch Franklin The Turtle videos together!

采蘑菇的小姑娘歌词

采蘑菇的小姑娘,
背着一个大竹筐。
清早光着小脚丫,
走遍树林和山岗。
她采的蘑菇最多,
多得象那星星数不清。
她采的蘑菇最大,
大得象那小伞装满筐。
赛罗罗罗罗罗罗哩赛罗哩赛。
谁不知山里的蘑菇香,
她却不肯尝一尝。
盼到赶集的那一天,
快快背到集市上。
换上一把小镰刀,
再换上几块棒棒糖。
和那小伙伴一起,
把劳动的幸福来分享。

Children Song: What Are Friends For? – by Jackie Silberg

Mrs. Samarita told us to prepare  7 songs for April 21st show in the gym for all students and families.  One of them is – “What Are Friends For”.  I found it on Youtube.com.  I am putting the song and the lyrics together so you don’t need to search it all over the Internet.

Children Song: What Are Friends For? Lyrics

What’s a friend for, a friend is for sharing,
What’s a friend for, a friend is for caring,
Everywhere I go and everything I do
I like to do with you.

Cause you’re my friend, F – R – I – E – N – D,
You’re my friend, F – R – I – E – N – D,
You’re my friend, F – R – I – E – N – D.
Trombone plays

What’s a friend for, a friend is to play with,
What’s a friend for, a friend is to stay with,
Everywhere I go and everything I do
I like to do with you.

What’s a friend for, a friend is to talk with,
What’s a friend for, a friend is to walk with,
Everywhere I go and everything I do
I like to do with you.

Barney Song Lyrics: Smile

My teacher Mrs. Samarita asked us to find the Barney song “It isn’t any trouble just to S-M-I-L-E”. I didn’t know the exact name of the song. It took me a while to find this song on Youtube with my mom’s help. My mom told me that S-M-I-L-E is a Barney’s song that first appeared in the Barney & Friends episode Oh, What a Day!  I would like to share this song and the lyrics with you.

Barney Song: Smile Lyrics

It isn’t any trouble just to S-M-I-L-E.
It isn’t any trouble just to S-M-I-L-E.
So smile when you’re in trouble. It will vanish like a bubble
If you only take the time to smile.
It isn’t any trouble just to G-I-GG*-L-E.
It isn’t any trouble just to G-I-GG*-L-E.
So giggle when you’re in trouble. It will vanish like a bubble
If you only take the time to giggle.
It isn’t any trouble just to ha, ha, ha, ha, laugh.
It isn’t any trouble just to ha, ha, ha, ha, laugh.
So laugh when you’re in trouble. It will vanish like a bubble
If you only take the time to laugh.

I Love San Francisco!

My mom and dad went to San Francisco last May. They brought me a small toy crab which looks like a real one!

They told me they saw hundreds of seals at Pier 39.  Every summer I go to Marineland with my mom and dad to watch baby seals performing all kinds of tricks. The seal family must be from San Francisco!

I love San Francisco!
