I'm Glad I'm Me 
Original Author Unknown

No one looks the way I do. 
I have noticed that is true! 
No one walks the way I walk. 
No one talks the way I talk. 
No one plays the way I play. 
No one says the things I say. 
I am special! 
I am ME! 
There's no on else I'd rather be!

We just sang about a few.

No One Like Me 
Original Author Unknown
(Recited to the rhythm of "Here Comes Peter Cottontail")

There's no one who is just like me,
No one who knows how to be:
Me when I am mad or sad.
Me when I am very glad.
There's no one who's just like me.
Me is who I'm proud to be.

Here are my Fingers
Original Author Unknown

Here are my fingers and here is my nose.
Here are my ears and here are my toes.
Here are my eyes that open wide.
Here is my mouth with my white teeth inside.
Here is my pink tongue that helps me speak.
Here are my shoulders and here is my cheek.
Here are my hands that help me play.
Here are my feet that go walking each day.

My Special Face
Adapted by Jolanda Garcia

When I look in a mirror I see my face,
And all of its parts are in their place.
I see two little ears and one little nose,
I see two little eyes and one little mouth.
When I look in the mirror, what do I see?
A wonderful and special me!

Stand Up and Turn Around 
Original Author Unknown
(Tune Frere Jacques)

(Child's Name) stand up; (Child's Name) stand up.
Turn around; touch the ground.
Reach up really high now; jump to touch the sky (wow),
Now sit down, now sit down.
