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.
Little Froggy [Tune: I'm a Little Teapot]
See the little froggy, swimming in the pool.
The water’s great, it’s nice and cool.
When he gets all cleaned up, out he’ll hop.
Squeaky clean from bottom to top.See the little froggy, on the lily pad.
Trying to catch flies, she’s getting sad.
When she catches one, she’ll gobble it up
Back in the water she’ll go, Kerplop!
Five Little Speckled Frogs
Five little speckled frogs sitting on a speckled log [5 fingers on bent arm]
eating the MOST delicious bugs, yum! yum! [pick bugs out of air, rub tummy]
One jumped into the pool, [finger hops in pool]
where it was nice and cool,
Then there were just four speckled frogs! [Continue with four frogs, then three, etc]
Then there were NO more speckled frogs!
Mary Had a Little Frog
Mary had a little frog, little frog, little frog.
Mary had a little frog,it’s skin was green as grass.
And everywhere that Mary went,Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went,the frog would jump and splash.
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.
