Picture Of The Week

Armistead Gardens Elementary School's Bus

I recently visited Armistead Gardens Elementary School in Baltimore, and I couldn't resist taking a picture of this cute model of the front of a school bus mounted on a brick wall close to the entrance of the school.

The picture also reminds me of the song, The Wheels On The Bus. As elementary as it sounds, from time to time, we all need to remember such songs that take us back to our childhood to help us de-stress from all the built up stress and frustrations in our lives. Below are the lyrics. Enjoy!

The Wheels on the Bus (The Bus Song)

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.

(Roll hands over each other)

The wipers on the bus go "Swish, swish, swish,

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish"

The wipers on the bus go "Swish, swish, swish"

All through the town.

(Put arms together in front of you and 'swish' like windshield wipers)

The door on the bus goes open and shut

Open and shut, open and shut

The door on the bus goes open and shut

All through the town.

(Cover eyes with hands on 'shut' and uncover them on 'open')

The horn on the bus goes "Beep, beep, beep

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep"

The horn on the bus goes "Beep, beep, beep"

All through the town.

(Pretend to honk horn)

The gas on the bus goes "Glug, glug, glug

Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug, glug"

The gas on the bus goes "Glug, glug, glug"

All through the town.

(Pretend to fill tank using pointer finger as gas nozzle)

The money on the bus goes "Clink, clink, clink,

Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink"

The money on the bus goes "Clink, clink, clink"

All through the town.

(Pretend to put money in cash box on bus)

The baby on the bus says, "Wah, wah, wah!

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah!"

The baby on the bus says, "Wah, wah, wah!"

All through the town.

(Fisted hands in front of eyes and rub them like baby crying)

The people on the bus say, "Shh, shh, shh,

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh"

The people on the bus say, "Shh, shh, shh"

All through the town.

(Put pointer finger to mouth to 'shhh')

The mommy on the bus says, "I love you,

I love you, I love you"

The daddy on the bus says, "I love you, too"

All through the town.

(Point to self on 'I', right hand over heart on 'love', and point to other on 'you')

Have a happy Sunday!
