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.
Bugs, Bugs, Bugs [tune: Frere Jacques]
Big bug, small bugs, Big bugs, small bugs
See them crawl, on the wall.
Never, never falling, never never falling.
Bugs, Bugs, Bugs, Bugs, Bugs, Bugs
A Fly is On My Toe [tune: Farmer in the Dell]
A fly is on my toe, a fly is on my toe,
Hi-ho, just watch me blow.
A fly is on my toe.Other verses:
A fly is on my nose...
A fly is on my head...
A fly is on my ear...
A fly is on my elbow...
A fly is on my knee...
The Insects Outside [tune: The Wheels on the Bus]
The fireflies at night go blink, blink, blink,
Blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink.
The fireflies at night, go blink, blink, blink.
Out in the garden.The crickets in the fields go chirp, chirp, chirp...
The caterpillars on the leaves go munch, munch, munch...
The worms in the ground wiggle and squirm, wiggle and squirm, wiggle and squirm

The more we read together, the better it is!
