Mr. Sun 

Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun

To please come out so we can play with you
Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun
Please shine down on me (repeat 3x last line)

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

Cupcake Love Part #2 Online Storytime During COVID-19

Cupcake Love Part #2 Storytime 

Since March During Covid-19 in 2020 We have  had to move many of our in-person stories to online!

This is our first experience using Facebook Live for storytimes. I have taken up reading again for storytime! I missed it!  I found these two stories to be fun to share together! I am going to start posting many of the stories I have been doing in virtual Facebook live storytime here on my blog since I cannot keep the videos up permanently due to copyright permissions!

Books:

Bagel In Love By Natasha Wing 

Everyone Loves Cupcake By Kelly Dippuchio

Storytime Songs: 

Clap and Sing Hello!” (Tune: Farmer in the Dell)

We clap and sing hello,
We clap and sing hello,
With our friends at storytime,
We clap and sing hello!
(Wave and sing hello; stomp and sing hello.) Credit: Storytime Songs

Summer 2011 — Winter 2013/2014 Storytime Katie 

“If You’re Ready” (Tune: If You’re Happy and You Know It)
If you’re ready for a story, take a seat
If you’re ready for a story, take a seat
Clap your hands and stomp your feet
Make your hands all nice and neat
If you’re ready for a story, take a seat
