Hello, Friends!

(tune: "Goodnight Ladies")

Hello friends.

Hello friends.

Hello friends.

We're glad you came today!

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. 

Goodbye, Friends!
(tune: "Goodnight Ladies")

Goodbye friends.
Goodbye friends.
Goodbye friends.
We're glad you came today!

You Are My Sunshine

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
You make me happy when skies are gray.
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away!

Skinnamarink

Skinnamarink-a-dink-a-dink

Skinnamarink-a-doo

I love you!

Skinnamarink-a-dink-a-dink

Skinnamarink-a-doo

I love you!

I love you in the morning

And in the afternoon.

I love you in the evening

And underneath the moon, oh,

Skinnamarink-a-dink-a-dink

Skinnamarink-a-doo

I love you!

Rhymes:

Everybody Knows I Love My Toes!
(By Barbara Allyn, copyright SOCAN)

Everybody knows I love my toes,

Everybody knows I love my toes.

I love my noggin, my knees,

My neck and my nose,

And everybody knows I love my toes!

Everybody knows I love my eyes.

Everybody knows I love my eyes.

I love my legs, my lips,

My neck and my nose,

And everybody knows I love my toes.

Everybody knows I love my feet.

Everybody knows I love my feet.

I love my skin, my chin,

My knees and my nose,

And everybody knows I love my toes.



Here is Baby Ready for a Nap

Here is baby ready for a nap.
I'll lay you down here in my lap.
I'll cover you up so you won't peep,
And rock you 'til you're fast asleep.

Our activity this week was Jigsaw Puzzles!

Each Baby & Me Storytime includes activities that support one or more of the five early literacy practices identified as essential in helping your child develop the skills they need before they can learn to read. The five practices – singing, talking, reading, playing and writing –were developed for Every Child Ready to Read®, an initiative of the Association for Library Services for Children (ALSC) and the Public Library Association (PLA).
