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.
I Am A Policeman (tune: "I'm A Little Teapot" )
I am a policeman, with my star.
I help people near and far.
If you have a problem, call on me.
And I will be there, 1, 2, 3!
9-1-1 [tune: "3 Blind Mice" ]
9-1-1, 9-1-1,
Help's on the way, help's on the way.
If I need help, I know what to do,
I can call the police and emergency crews.
It makes me feel safe to know what to do. Dial 9-1-1.
Have You Ever Seen a Policeman [tune: "Did you ever seen a Lassie" ]
Have you ever seen a policeman,
a policeman, a policeman,
Have you ever seen a policeman,
go this way and that.
Go this way, and that way,
go this way and that way.
Have you ever seen a policeman,
Go this way and that?
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.
