Blogging A to Z: Weather

During the month of April, I’ll be participating in the Blogging From A to Z Challenge.  My theme for the month is Storytime Plans From A to Z.  Each plan will have eight stories as well as four songs, fingerplays or rhymes to match the theme!  As you can see, I’ll try and attribute where I found all of this fun (and often you can find it in multiple places).  My goal is to make storytime planning a little easier on myself in the future and to make storytime planning for other librarians easy as well!

Now the rain is over.

“Mr. Sun”
Oh Mister Sun, Sun,
Mister Golden Sun,
Please shine down on me.
Oh Mister Sun, Sun,
Mister Golden Sun,
Hiding behind the trees.
These little children are asking you,
to please come out so we can play with you.
Oh Mister Sun, Sun,
Mister Golden Sun,
please shine down on me.
