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.
There was a man lived in the moon, in the moon, in the moon.
There was a man lived in the moon, and his name was Aikendrum.
And he played upon a ladle, a ladle, a ladle, he played upon a ladle,
and his name was Aikendrum. And his hat was made of cream cheese....
And his coat was made of roast beef... And his pants were made of haggis...
There was a man lived in the moon, in the moon, in the moon,
There was a man lived in the moon and his name was Aikendrum.
Solar System in Motion [Tune:Farmer in the Dell]
The Earth turns around, the Earth turns around,
Once a day, every day, the Earth turns around.
The moon goes round the Earth, the moon goes round the Earth.
Once a month, every month, the moon goes round the Earth.
The Earth goes round the sun, the Earth goes round the sun,
Once a year, every year, the earth goes round the sun.
The stars are all around, the stars are all around.
Here to there and everywhere, the stars are all around.
The Moon is Circling 'Round the Earth by Jean Warren [Tune: "The Ants Go Marching"]
The moon is circling 'round the earth, hurrah!, hurrah!
The moon is circling 'round the earth, hurrah!, hurrah!
When the day turns into night, We can see the moon so bright.
Oh, we're oh so glad that the moon is in the sky.
I'm a Little Rocket [Tune: I'm a Little Teapot]
I'm a little rocket pointing at the moon [raise arms above head, fingertips touching]
Now I'm getting fueled up. [wiggle hips] We'll be ready soon. [stand up straight and tall]
When it's time to board me, then I'll say [slowly bend knees and crouch down - arms still above head]
Blast off! Zoom! We're on our way. [jump up and shout!]
Rocket Ship Run by Laurie Berkner Band
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.
