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.

 

Basic Food Groups

Here are the basic food groups.
Dairy, Grains and Meat,
And don't forget that Fruits and Vegetables 
Are important for you to eat.
Have a food from each food group each and every day,
And you'll grow up strong and healthy.
Good nutrition is the way.

If You're Thankful [Tune: "If Your Happy and You Know It" ]

If you’re thankful and you know it,
clap your hands
If you’re thankful and you know it,
clap your hands.

If you’re thankful and you know it
Then your face will surely show it

If you’re thankful and you know it,
clap your hands!

 

Additional verses:
        Stomp your feet…

        Shout “I am”…

        Do all three

 

Thanksgiving Song [Tune: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" ]

Thank you, thank you, very much.
For everything that I can touch.
Thanks a lot for nature’s food.
And for when I’m feeling good.
Thank you, thank you, very much.
For moms and dads and friends and such.

 

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!
