Welcome to Storytime! [tune: Twinkle, Twinkle]
Welcome, welcome everyone,
Now we’re here, let’s have some fun.
First we’ll sing the ABC’s, then we’ll read and sing with me.
Welcome, welcome, everyone
Now we’re here, let’s have some fun.
Autumn Leaf Shuffle by Elizabeth Giles
Move those feet and start to prance.
Let us do an autumn dance.
Tap your toes upon the ground,
when a bunch of leaves are found.
Shuffle left; then shuffle right.
Crunch those leaves with all your might.
Toss a few into the air.
Skip around, just let people stare.
Shuffle step and jump with me,
As we dance around the tree.
Leaves are Twirling [Tune: Frere Jacques]
Leaves are twirling,
Leaves are twirling
all around, all around.They are falling softly,
very, very softly
to the ground, all around.
Little Leaves [Tune: 10 Little Indians]
One little, two little, three little leaves,
four little, five little, six little leaves,
seven little, eight little, nine little leaves,
ten little leaves fall down from the tree.
Fall Is...
Fall is leaves that fall to the ground.
Fall is pumpkins all around.
Fall is a chilliness in the air.
Fall is coats and sweaters to wear.
Fall is for Halloween coming soon.
Fall is for the huge harvest moon.
Fall is gradually shorter days.
Fall is a squirrel gathering nuts as he plays.
Fall is a lot of things for you and me.
The More We Read Together [Tune: The More We Get Together]
The more we read together, together, together,
The more we read together the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together,
Is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
