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.
Love, Love, Love [Tune: Three Blind Mice ]
Love, love, love,
Love, love, love.
See how it grows,
See how it grows!
I love my friends and they love me,
We love others and then you see,
There's more than enough for a big family.
Love, love, love.
Love, love, love.
Heart
I put my hands together, (hands together like praying)
This is how I start
I curve my fingers right around, (curl fingertips; pull palms slightly apart)
And I can make a heart!Credit: Sunflower Storytime
I'm a Little Valentine [ tune: I'm a Little Teapot ]
I'm a little valentine red and white
With ribbons and lace I'm a beautiful sight.
I can say "I love you" on Valentine's Day
Just put me in an envelope and give me away!
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.
Check our calendar for the next Antioch or other JCL Location Storytime, hope to see you there!
