Songs:

Let's Shout Hooray!
(tune: Old McDonald)

At storytime we have (child's name) today.
We're so glad, let's shout hooray!

Pop! Goes the Weasel

All around the cobbler's bench,
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought t'was all in fun.
POP! goes the weasel!

A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle.
That's the way the money goes.
POP! goes the weasel!

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.




Activities:


Good Morning, Toes

Good morning, toes,
Good morning, toes,
And how are you today?
I trust you had a good night's sleep
And now you're ready to play!

Enjoy saying good morning to a variety of places on your young one's body!




Bounce, Tickle and Kiss!

Our Hands Say Goodbye

Our hands say goodbye with a clap, clap, clap.
Our feet say goodbye with a tap, tap, tap.
Clap, clap, clap,
Tap, tap, tap.
We roll our hands around and say... "Let's do it again!"

Our hands say goodbye with a clap, clap, clap.Our feet say goodbye with a tap, tap, tap.
Clap, clap, clap,
Tap, tap, tap.
We roll our hands around and say... "Goodbye!"

My friends at Early Head Start were so much fun today!  I think I could have stayed until suppertime taking requests for songs!  Along with the songs I planned (above), we also sang "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "The Wheels on the Bus".  The children, Miss Kendra and Miss Katie helped me learn a fun song about some very sleepy rabbits!  It was nice to have so many of the children's parents there to share in the songs and activities!
