Welcome, welcome, everyone,

The Bear [Tune: "The Littlest Worm"]
The other day (audience repeats), I met a bear (repeat)
Away up there (repeat), A great big bear (repeat)
The other day I met a bear, A great big bear a way up there.He looked at me (repeat), I looked at him (repeat)
He sized me up (repeat), I sized up him. (repeat)
He looked at me, I looked at him; he sized up me, I sized up him.He said to me (repeat), "Why don't you run?" (repeat)
I see you don't (repeat), Have any gun. (repeat)
He said to me, "Why don't you run?, I see you don't have any gun."And so I ran (repeat), Away from there (repeat)
and right behind (repeat), me was that bear (repeat)
And so I ran away f rom there, and right behind me was that bear.Ahead of me (repeat), I saw a tree
A great big tree (repeat), Oh, golly gee (repeat)
Ahead of me there was a tree, a great big tree, oh, golly gee.The lowest branch (repeat), was ten feet up (repeat)
I had to jump, and trust my luck (repeat)
The lowest branch was ten foot up, I had to jump and trust my luck.And so I jumped (repeat), into the air (repeat)
and missed that branch (repeat), away up there (repeat)
And so I jumped into the air, and missed that branch away up there.Now don't you fret (repeat), and don't you frown (repeat)
I caught that branch (repeat), on the way back down. (repeat)
Now don't you fret and don't you frown, I caught that branch on the way back down.
The Bear Went Over the Mountain
The bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain, to see what he could see!
The other side of the mountain, the other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain, was all that he could see.
Bears [Tune: "Mary Had a Little Lamb"]
Grizzly bears are big and brown,
Big and brown, Big and brown,
Grizzly bears are big and brown,
and live out in the woods.Polar bears are soft and white,
soft and white, soft and white,
Polar bears are soft and white,
and live where it is cold.Teddy bears are just my size,
Just my size, just my size,
Teddy bears are just my size,
To cuddle with at night.
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.
Hope to see you at our next Antioch Preschool Storytime!
