Good morning, and welcome to story time! Since Thanksgiving is next week, we going to read books about pie today! Let’s get started with our hello song.
Song: Clap and Sing Hello!
We clap and sing hello.
We clap and sing hello.
With our friends at story time.
We clap and sing hello!
(Wave and sing hello; stomp and sing hello.)
Fingerplay: The Itsy Bitsy Spider
The itsy bitsy spider,
Went up the water spout.
Down came the rain,
And washed the spider out.
Out came the sun,
And dried up all the rain.
And the itsy bitsy spider,
Went up the spout again.

Flannel Board: I Can’t Wait for Pumpkin Pie
5 little pumpkins on a vine, (hold up 5 fingers)
5 little pumpkins that are mine! (point to self)
I pull one off and then I sigh, (dramatically pull one off)
“I can’t wait for pumpkin pie!” (dramatically sigh)
4 little pumpkins on a vine,
4 little pumpkins that are mine!
I pull one off and then I sigh,
“I can’t wait for pumpkin pie!”
3 little pumpkins on a vine,
3 little pumpkins that are mine!
I pull one off and then I sigh,
“I can’t wait for pumpkin pie!”
2 little pumpkins on a vine,
2 little pumpkins that are mine!
I pull one off and then I sigh,
“I can’t wait for pumpkin pie!”
1 little pumpkins on a vine,
1 little pumpkins that are mine!
I pull one off and then I sigh,
“I can’t wait for pumpkin pie!”
No little pumpkins on a vine,
No little pumpkins that are mine.
But I don’t have to make a sigh
Because it’s time for pumpkin pie!

We wave goodbye like this.
