Here are the rhymes and songs from today:

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.

 

It is Autumn [tune: “Skip to My Lou”]

It is autumn up in the tree.
It is autumn up in the tree.
It is autumn up in the tree.
Up in the tree it’s autumn.

Leaves are changing up in the tree…

Leaves are falling down from the tree….

Acorns are growing up in the tree…

Squirrels are living up in the tree…

 

Little Leaves [tune: "Ten Little Numbers"]

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.

 

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 [tune: "Twinkle, Twinkle"]

All join hands and circle round,
While we watch the leaves fall down.
See them twirling to the ground.
See them whirling all around.
See them skipping here and there
See them flipping in the air.
Autumn leaves so peacefully
Falling, falling from the tree.

 

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.
