Dragons--Virtual Storytime

 Welcome Song

Storytime ABC's
Welcome, welcome everyone
We're together let's have some fun
Stories, songs and puppets too
Storytime is the pace for you!
Do you know your ABCs?
Come along and sing with me!

Now I've sung my ABCs
Next time won't you sing with me?

Guess What I Brought

This is an animal.
This animal can fly.
The animal can also breath fire!
This animal is not real; it is make believe

A Dragon!!

Movement Song

I Am Flying
(tune:  Are You Sleeping?)

I am flying, I am flying
Up so high, up so high,
I can tilt this way
I can tilt that way
In the sky, in the sky.

I am flying, I am flying
Round and round, round and round
See the tiny houses
See the tiny people
On the ground, on the ground.

Five Little Dragons

One little dragon with scales of blue;
Ran to meet the green one,
Then there were two.

Two little dragons sitting under a tree;
The orange dragon joined them,
Then there were three.

Three little dragons, wishing there were more;
Along came a purple dragon,
Then there were four.

Four little dragons, happy to be alive;
Found a yellow dragon,
Then there were five.

Five little dragons, all out to play;
"Watch out! They breathe fire!" is all I can say!

Parent Tip

Did you know that a child’s math knowledge at the start of kindergarten predicts later academic achievement?  Help your child make the connection between number words and what that number word means.  Place items one at a time and begin counting as you place items, just as we did in this rhyme.  It will take time for children to be able to recognize that a set of objects contains a certain number of items.  


Animal Goodbyes

(with stick puppets)

See ya later, Alligator!
Blow a kiss, Goldfish!
Give a hug, Ladybug!
Toodaloo, Kangaroo!
Bye-bye, Butterfly!
Take care, Polar Bear!
