Storytime: Stars and Space

Opening Song: Hello, Friends

Hello, friends x3
It’s time to say hello

from Jbrary

Word of the Day: Star

To say “star” in ASL, you just point at the sky with both of your pointer fingers. You can see this sign in action here.

Rhyme: Four Little Rockets

Four little rockets winking at me
One shot off and then there were three!
Three little rockets with nothing to do
One shot off, and then there were two!
Two little rockets afraid of the sun
One shot off, and then there was one!
One little rocket alone is no fun
It shot off, and then there were none!

from Storytime Katie

Song: Zoom, Zoom, Zoom

Zoom, zoom, zoom
We’re going to the moon
Zoom, zoom, zoom
We’re going to the moon

If you want to take a trip
Climb aboard my rocket ship
Zoom, zoom, zoom
We’re going to the moon

In 5…4…3…2…1

Blast off!

Rhyme: 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
