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.

 

Solar System  [tune: "Twinkle, Twinkle" ]

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Oh so bright and oh so far.
In the sky, a tiny dot.
Glowing gas that’s very hot!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Oh so bright and oh so far.

Beaming, beaming, gleaming moon,
Like a giant white balloon,
Round and round the Earth you spin,
Through the month, new shapes you’re in.
Beaming, beaming, gleaming moon,
Like a giant white balloon.

Glowing, glowing, red-hot sun.
Shining light on everyone.
Earth goes round you once a year.
You’re a star with atmosphere!
Glowing, glowing, red-hot sun,
Shining light on everyone.

 

10 Little Rockets [tune: "10 Little Indians"]

One little, two little, three little rockets,
Four little, five little, six little rockets,
Seven little, eight little, nine little rockets,
Ten little rockets, ready to go.
Countdown...Ready?
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 Blastoff! 

 

The Solar System in Motion [tune: "Farmer in the Dell"]

The Earth turns around, the Earth turns around,
Once a day, every day, the Earth turns around.

The moon goes round the Earth, The moon goes round the Earth,
Once a month, every month,The moon goes round the Earth.

The Earth goes round the Sun, the Earth goes round the Sun,
nce a year, every year, The Earth goes round the Sun.

The stars are all around, The stars are all around,
Here to there, and everywhere, The stars are all around

 

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.
