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.

 

Moon Ride

Do you want to go up with me to the moon?
Let's get in our rocket ship and blast off soon!
Faster and faster we reach to the sky.
Isn't it fun to be able to fly?
We're on the moon, now all take a look.
Sit back down, and I'll read you a book.

Twinkle, Twinkle

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so hight, like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.

I'm a Little Rocket [Tune: I'm a Little Teapot ]

I'm a little rocket pointing at the moon.        [ Raise arms above head and finger tips touching. ]
Now I'm getting fueled up...                             [ Wiggle hips. ]
We'll be ready soon.                                           [ Stand up straight and tall, salute. ]
When it's time to board me, then I'll say...   [ Slowly bend knees and crouch down -- arms still above head. ]
Blast off!  Zoom!  We're on our way.             [ Jump up and shout! ]

Hey Diddle Diddle

Hey diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle.
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed, to see such sport.
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

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.
