Welcome to Simple and Sweet Story Time! Today’s theme was Stars and the Night Sky!! We read about stars, sang a silly song or two about stars, and created a pretend telescope to look at the night sky. Some of the vocab words from the stories we read below are: STAR, NIGHT, SUNRISE, SKY, and DARK. Below is information from this story time, including the books we read and the songs we sang in case you want to repeat any of this out at home.

SONGS:
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.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
‘Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark.
Though I know not what you are,
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.
How I wonder what you are.
Three Little Men in a Flying Saucer
Three little men in a flying saucer,
Flew round the world one day,
Looked left and right but they didn’t like the sight,
So one man flew away.
(Repeat with ‘two men’ and then ‘one man’ )
