A couple of weeks ago, a bunch of my storytime kids were wearing Chicago Bears shirts… so I felt inspired to do a beary storytime \ud83d\ude42 I also wanted to include a new book I LOVE: Goldilocks and Just One Bear (a funny twist on the classic tale where a BEAR is lost and crashes a HUMAN home)!<\/p>\n

\nWhere are the bees?
\nHidden away where nobody sees.
\nWatch as they come out of their hive\u2014
\nOne, two, three, four, five,
\n(Extend fingers one at a time.)
\nThey\u2019re alive! Buzzzzzz!
\n(Wiggle your fingers.)<\/p>\n

**Autumn Leaves<\/em>
\n(Tune: “Mary Had a Little Lamb”)
\nAutumn leaves are falling down, (Flutter fingers down)
\nFalling down, falling down.
\nAutumn leaves are falling down,
\nFalling on the ground.<\/p>\n

Autumn leaves are whirling round, (Twirl in a circle)
\nWhirling round, whirling round.
\nAutumn leaves are whirling round,
\nAll over town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
