All summer we'll be doing storytime programs with our summer reading theme, Dream Big... Read, in mind. This week- Dreams!

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

5 little monkeys jumping on the bed

5 little monkeys jumping on the bed

1 fell off and bumped his head

Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said,

“No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”

4 little monkeys jumping on the bed…

Shake my sillies out

Gonna shake, shake, shake my sillies out,

Shake, shake, shake my sillies Out,

Shake, shake, shake my sillies out,

And wiggle my waggles away.

Gonna clap, clap, clap, my crazies out…

Gonna jump, jump, jump my jiggles out…

Gonna yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out…

Row your Boat

Row row row your boat,

Gently down the stream,

Merrily merrily merrily merrily,

Life is but a dream.

Teddy Bear Teddy Bear

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn around

Teddy Bear Teddy Bear, touch the ground

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, show your shoes

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, how old are you?

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, climb the stairs,

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say your prayers.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn out the light

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say good night!

Shake Your Egg

(tune: London Bridge)

Shake your egg and follow me, follow me, follow me

Shake your egg and follow me

Now put your egg on your head.

Counting Sheep

(tune:This Old Man)

Counting sheep, Counting sheep

Helps my mommy Go to sleep.

One sheep, two sheep,

Three sheep, four

Soon my mommy Starts to snore.

Star light, Star Bright

Star light, star bright

First star I see tonight

I wish I may, I wish I might

Have the wish I wish tonight
