Night

We've had fun this week learning all about Night! Every storytime this week has been crowded after people were cooped up all weekend because of ice and snow, so we did a ton of movement songs to get some energy out. Since we talked about night time, we also got in our rocketships and went to the moon several times.

Rocketship Run - Laurie Berkner Band (Rocketship Run)

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.

Going to the Moon (Tune: "If You're Happy and You Know It")

If you're going to the moon, wear your boots (stomp, stomp)

If you're going to the moon, wear your boots (stomp, stomp)

If you're going to the moon, this is what you have to do,

If you're going to the moon, wear your boots (stomp, stomp)

Repeat with:

If you're going to the moon, wear your gloves (clap, clap)

If you're going to the moon, wear your helmet (pat, pat)
