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.
Found a Feather [Tune: Oh, My Darling Clementine ]
Found a feather, found a feather,
Found a feather on the ground.
Oh, I am so very lucky, a feather to have found.Picked it up, picked it up,
Picked it up just like that.
Picked up that pretty feather, then I put it in my hat.Found a feather, found a feather,
found a feather on the ground.
Oh, I am so very lucky, a feather to have found.
Bird Talk by Aileen Fisher
“Think…” said the robin,
“Think…” said the jay,
sitting in the garden, talking one day.
“Think about people -- the way that they grow:
they don’t have feathers at all, you know.
“They don’t eat beetles, they don’t grow wings,
they don’t like sitting on wires and things.”
“Think!” said the robin.
“Think!” said the jay.
“Aren’t people funny to be that way?”
Birds in the Wilderness [Tune: Old Gray Mare ]
Here we sit like birds in the wilderness.
Birds in the wilderness,birds in the wilderness.
Here we sit like birds in the wilderness,
Waiting for our food!
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.
