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.
Take Me Out to the Barnyard [tune: "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"]
Take me out to the barnyard,
Take me out there right now.
Show me the cows, pigs and horses too.
I hear an oink and a neigh and a moo.
There are chickens laying their eggs now,
If they don't lay, it's a shame.
Oh, it's one, two, three eggs today,
And I'm glad I came.
Five Little Piggies
Five little piggies, rolling in the mud,
Squishy, squashy, Squishy, Squashy
Oh what fun!
Along came the farmer, and took one to the tub,
And that left 4 little piggies rolling in the mud....
The Farmer in the Dell [tune: "Farmer in the Dell"]
The farmer in the dell, the farmer in the dell.
Hi-ho, the derry-o, the farmer in the dell.The farmer takes a wife, the farmer takes a wife.
Hi-ho, the derry-o, the farmer takes a wife.The wife takes a child, the wife takes a child.
Hi-ho, the derry-o, the wife takes a child.The child takes a nurse, the child takes a nurse.
Hi-ho, the derry-o, the wife takes a child.The nurse takes a cow, the nurse takes a cow.
Hi-ho, the derry-o, the nurse takes a cow.The cow takes a dog, the cow takes a dog.
Hi-ho, the derry-o, the cow takes a dog.The dog takes a cat, the dog takes a cat.
Hi-ho, the derry-o, the dog takes a cat.The cat takes a rat, the cat takes a rat.
Hi-ho, the derry-o, the cat takes a rat.The rat takes the cheese, the rat takes the cheese.
Hi-ho, the derry-o, the rat takes the cheese.The cheese stands alone, the cheese stands alone.
Hi-ho, the derry-o, the cheese stands alone.
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.
Hope to see you at our next Antioch Preschool Storytime!
