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.
Hello Spring [tune:"Goodnight Ladies"]
Hello spring, hello spring, Hello spring,
we hope you're here to stay!
Replace the word spring with: green grass, robins, rainbow, flowers, butterflies, etc
Pussy Willows by Aileen Fisher
Close your eyes and do not peek
And I'll rub spring across your cheek
- smooth as satin, soft and sleek -
Close your eyes and do not peek.
Spring Song [tune: "Bingo" ]
There is a time when flowers bloom, and grass turns green all over.
It is coming soon, it is coming soon, it is coming soon,
and spring is it's name-o.
There is a time when birdies sing,
and children play outside.
It is coming soon, it is coming soon, it is coming soon
and spring is its name-o.
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.
