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.
I'm a Little Bunny [tune: "I'm a Little Teapot" ]
I'm a little bunny with a cotton tail;
See me hopping down the trail.
When I see a carrot - my ears they shake!
And then, of course, a bit I take!!! CRUNCH!!!!
Hop, Hop, Hop [tune: "Ten Little Indians" ]
Hop, hop, hop, hop, like a rabbit.
Hop, hop, hop, hop, like a rabbit.
Hop, hop, hop, hop, like a rabbit.
All around the meadow.
10 Little Bunnies [tune: "Ten Little Indians" ]
1 little, 2 little, 3 little bunnies,
4 little, 5 little, 6 little bunnies,
7 little, 8 little, 9 little bunnies,
10 little bunnies hopping up and down.
Funny Bunny Hop
Funny little bunny goes hop, hop, hop!
Funny little bunny, please stop, stop, stop!
Wiggle your ears and crinkle your nose.
Then wiggle, wiggle, wiggle right down to your toes.
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.
