The Letter A & Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late by Mo Willems | Mrs. Urbach's Early Learning Loft

In this video I teach children about the letter A, involving them in the lesson. I also talk about quilts and play I Spy—quilt edition! I read Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late by Mo Willems. And, of course, we sing our ABCs and "Stay Awake" from the 1964 Walt Disney film Mary Poppins. (Lyrics provided below, because it's a beautiful lullaby to sing to your child.)

STAY AWAKE
Music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman

Stay awake, don't rest your head.
Don't like down upon your bed.
Though the moon drifts in the sky
Stay awake, don't close your eyes.

Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow's soft and deep
You're not sleepy as you seem.
Stay awake, don't nod and dream.
Stay awake, don't nod and dream.
