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.
Out in the Garden [tune: Down by the Station ]
Out in my garden
Early in the morning,
See the little vegetables all in a row.
See the rows of carrots,
and the rows of peas.
Water, hoe, grow, grow
In my garden please.
The Seeds Grow [Tune: Farmer in the Dell ]
The gardener plants the seeds, The gardener plants the seeds,
Deep down inside the ground, The gardener plants the seeds.The rain clouds give them water, The rain clouds give them water,
Seeds need water for a drink, The rain clouds give them water.The sun gives heat and light, The sun gives heat and light,
Seeds like it warm and bright, The sun gives heat and light.The gardener pulls the weeds, The gardener pulls the weeds,
Seeds need the room to grow, The gardener pulls the weeds.The seeds grow into plants, The seeds grow into plants,
Beans and corn and cauliflower, and lots of other foods.
Seeds Added [ tune: Twinkle, Twinkle ]
Dig a hole deep in the ground
Spread some tiny seeds around
Pat them down – so they will keep
They are lying fast asleep.
Rain will help the seeds to grow
Sunshine keeps them warm I know.
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.
