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.

 

Five Little Owls 

Five little owls on a dark, dark night.
Five little owls are quite a sight.

Five little owls are you keeping score?
One flies away and that leaves four.

Four little owls as happy as can be.
One flies away and that leaves three.

Three little owls calling, "Who, who, who!"
One flies away and that leaves two.

Two little owls having lots of fun.
One flies away and that leave one.

One little owl and we're almost done!
He flies away and that leaves none!

Owl Hokey Pokey [Tune:"Hokey Pokey" ]

You put your right wing in, you put your right wing out
You put your right wing in, and you flap it all about
You do the hokey pokey and you fly yourself around
That’s what it’s all about! Hoot, hoot!

Owl Song [Tune: "I'm a Little Teapot"]

I'm a great big owl, as you can see
I live high up in a tree.
All the other birds wake me up when they play,
Because I like to sleep in the day!

 

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!
