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.

 

Dino-Pokey [tune:  Hokey-Pokey ]

Put your claws in. Put your claws out.

Put your claws in and scratch them all about.

Do the dino-pokey and turn yourself around.

That's what it's all about.

Put your teeth in.... chomp them all about...

Put your feet in... stomp them all about...

Put your tail in... wag it all about...

 

Triceratops  [Tune: Three Blind Mice ]

Look and see. One, two, three.
Count with me. One, two, three.
Triceratops has three big horns.
That's the way that he was born.
One, two, three. One, two, three.

 

Dinosaur [tune: This Old Man ]

Di-no-saur, She laid one.
She laid one egg, Then was Done.

Di-no-saur, She laid two.
She laid two eggs, that were blue.

Di-no-saur, She laid three.
She laid three eggs, by a tree.

Di-no-saur, She laid four.
She laid four eggs, not one more.

Di-no-saur, She laid Five,
She laid five that hatched ALIVE!

Chorus:
Oh - oh, dino eggs,
She lays them     one by one.
She lays eggs     until she's done.

 

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.
