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.

 

Penguin Song [Tune: "My Bonnie" ]

The penguin slides over the ice bank,
The penguin jumps into the sea,
Look at his black and white feathers,
That penguins as cute as can be.

 

I'm a Little Penguin [Tune:"I'm a Little Teapot"]

I'm a little penguin, black and white.
I think the cold is very nice.
I can hop around, first once, then twice,
or slide on my belly to cross the ice.

Polar bear, polar bear, Turn around.
Polar Bear, polar bear, Touch the ground.
Polar bear, polar bear, Dance on your toes.
Polar bear, polar bear, Touch your nose.

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.
