Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site - Sherri Rinker
Down in the big construction site, tough trucks work with all their might. But now it's time to say goodnight! Little truck drivers will drift off to sleep to this soothing bid
good-bye to the day.
Sing
I’m a Little Dump Truck
I'm a great big dump truck full of rocks
Here is my engine, here is my box
When the crew is ready
Hear me shout,
"Pull the levers and dump me out!"

The wheels on the bus go round and round,
Round and round, round and round,
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All through the town.
Additional verses: The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish; The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep; The doors on the bus go open and shut; The driver on the bus says move on back; The people on the bus go up and down; The babies on the bus go wah, wah, wah; The mommies on the bus go shhh, shhh, shhh.

Activity
Cardboard Cars!
Gather markers, glue, and scissors, and raid the recycling bin to make a pretend vehicle. A box can be the base. Lids can be wheels. A plate is a fantastic steering wheel. Colorful cereal boxes make cool decorations. There’s no right or wrong way to make your vehicle!
