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 foods.
Garden Planting time [Tune:"Row, Row, Row Your Boat" ]
Dig, dig, dig the earth, (make digging motion)
Then you plant your seeds. (pretend to drop seeds)
A gentle rain, ( flutter fingers down)
Will help your flowers grow. (Hold one arm parallel to ground and move other arm up behind it with fingers extended to represent flower growing)
Out in My Garden [Tune: "Down by the Station"]
Out in my garden
Early in the morning,
See the little vegetables all in a row.
See the rows of carrots,
and the rows of peas.
Water, hoe, grow, grow
In my garden please.
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!
