Books We Shared<\/h4>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Denise Fleming’s take on Five Little Ducks<\/a> also features a lesson on the days of the week!<\/p>\n

Lucy Cousins’s bright and colorful illustrations in Hooray for Birds<\/a>, combined with lots of action and movement prompts, make this one a great choice for group reading!<\/p>\n

Flannelboard Song<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We sang “Six Little Ducks” from Raffi’s Singable Songs Collection<\/a>. The felt pieces double as finger puppets, so everyone could see me wiggle the one with the back tail feathers!<\/p>\n

Six little ducks that I once knew
\nFat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too
\nBut the one little duck
\nWith the feather on his back
\nHe led the others with a quack, quack, quack
\nQuack, quack, quack
\nQuack, quack, quack
\nHe led the others with a quack, quack, quack<\/p>\n

Down to the river they would go,
\nWibble-wobble, wibble-wobble
\nTo and fro
\nBut the one little duck
\nWith the feather on his back
\nHe led the others with a quack, quack, quack
\nQuack, quack, quack
\nQuack, quack, quack
\nHe led the others with a quack, quack, quack<\/p>\n

Back from the river they would come,
\nWibble-wobble, wibble-wobble
\nHo hum hum
\nBut the one little duck
\nWith the feather on his back
\nHe led the others with a quack, quack, quack
\nQuack, quack, quack
\nQuack, quack, quack
\nHe led the others with a quack, quack, quack<\/p>\n

Rhymes & Bounces & Songs We Shared without Music<\/h4>\n

We sing a lot of songs during storytime! \u00a0You\u2019ll find lyrics to those songs without music here.<\/p>\n

Pete the Penguin<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(adapted from a rhyme about a parrot)<\/p>\n

“Good morning,” says Pete.
\nIsn’t he sweet?
\nHe kisses me lightly,
\nEver so slightly,
\nRight on the cheek
\nWith his small yellow beak.<\/p>\n

Two Little Blackbirds<\/span><\/p>\n

Tune: I’m a Little Teapot<\/em><\/p>\n

Two little blackbirds sitting on a hill.
\nOne named Jack and one named Jill.
\nFly away Jack, flay away Jill.
\nCome back Jack, come back Jill.<\/p>\n

Storytime\u2019s Over<\/span><\/p>\n

Hands up high! (Put your hands in air)
\n<\/em>Now give a big sigh (sigh and bring hands down)
\n<\/em>Our storytime\u2019s over
\nSo wave bye-bye (wave)<\/em><\/p>\n

Goodbye Friends<\/span><\/p>\n

Click here for video:\u00a0 <\/em>Goodbye Friends<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Goodbye babies, goodbye babies
\nGoodbye babies, it\u2019s time to say goodbye.<\/p>\n

Music from CDs We Shared<\/h4>\n

Children love to sing and dance to music.\u00a0 I often give them shaker eggs to play, and did yesterday. Here are some of the songs\/bounces on CD that we\u00a0used in storytime.<\/p>\n

“Clap Everybody and Say Hello” from Sally Go Round the Sun<\/a> by Kathy Reid-Naiman<\/p>\n

“I Know a Chicken” from The Best of the Laurie Berkner Band<\/a><\/p>\n

“A Smooth Road to London Town” from A Smooth Road to London Town: Songs from the Parent-Child Mother Goose Program by Kathy Reid-Naiman<\/a><\/p>\n
