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.
The Seeds Grow [tune:Farmer in the Dell]
The gardener plants the seeds, the gardener plants the seeds,
Deep down inside the ground, the gardener plants the seeds.
The rain clouds give them water, the rain clouds give them water,
Seeds need water for a drink, the rain clouds give them water.
The sun gives heat and light, the sun gives heat and light,
Seeds like it warm and bright, the sun gives heat and light.
The gardener pulls the weeds, the gardener pulls the weeds,
Seeds need the room to grow, the gardener pulls the weeds.
The seeds grow into plants, the seeds grow into plants.
Beans and corn and cauliflower and lots of other plants.
Good Food Song [Tune:Old MacDonald Had a Farm]
Vegetables are good for me, EE I EE I OOO
and so I eat them happily, EE I EE I OOO
With a carrot, carrot here and a carrot, carrot there.
Here a carrot, there a carrot, everywhere a carrot, carrot.
Vegetables are good for me, EE I EE I OOO

Who, me? Yes, you! Couldn't be! Then who?
The First Thanksgiving [Tune:Twinkle, Twinkle]
Pick the corn and pick the beans, pick the squash the other greens.
It is harvest time you see, Come and share a feast with me.
Bring your family out to play, We'll call this Thanksgiving Day!
If You're Thankful [Tune:If You're Happy and You Know It ]
If you're thankful and you know it, Clap your hands.
If you're thankful and you know it,Clap your hands.
If you're thankful and you know it, Then your face will surely show it.
If you're thankful and you know it, Clap your hands!
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.
