Welcome to Simple and Sweet Story Time! Today’s theme was CARROTS!! We read about carrots, sang a silly song or two about carrots, and created a carrot painting using our thumb prints. Some of the vocab words from the stories we read below are: CARROTS, MORE, FEWER, SAME, ENORMOUS. 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.
BOOKS:
Just Enough Carrots The Enormous Carrot
~ by Stuart J. Murphy ~by Vladimir Vagin
SONGS/POEMS:
CARROTS YOU ARE MY FAVORITE (Chant)
Carrot, carrot—you are my favorite!
Rabbits go munch, munch, munch!
Carrot, carrot—you are my favorite!
I’d like to have you for lunch, lunch, lunch!
PLANTING SONG (Tune: Farmer in the Dell)
It’s time to plant the seeds,
It’s time to plant the seeds,
Hi-ho, the derry-o
It’s time to plant the seeds.
Other verses:
The warm sun shines all day…
The rain comes gently down…
The carrots pop through the soil…
We pull the carrots out…
CARROTS FOR LUNCH (Rhyme)
Out in the garden, under the sun.
Grew lots of carrots, so I picked some.
I took them inside and washed the whole bunch.
Then I sat down and ate them for my lunch.
