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.
Birdie Pokey
You put your wings in, you put your wings out.
You put your wings in and you flap them about.
You do the birdie-pokey and
you turn yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about!
Little Bird [Tune: Five Little Ducks
One little bird with feathers of blue;
flew beside the green one and then there were two.Two little birds singing in the tree;
The red bird came and then there were three.Three little birds, wishing there were more;
Along came the purple bird and then there were four.Four little birds, happy to be alive;
Found a little yellow one, and then there were five.Five little birds as happy as can be.
Singing beautiful songs -- just for you and me!
Little Bird, Little Bird ( tune: Twinkle, Twinkle )
Little bird, little bird, Fly around,
Up to the sky, Down to the ground.
Little bird, little bird, Flap your wings.Open your beak And sweetly sing.
Little bird, little bird, Fly to your nest.
Now it is time To take a rest.
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.
