Storytime is starting, starting, starting.
Storytime is starting, come and listen to me.

3. Flannel board Song: Mary had a little Lamb
Mary had a little lamb,
its fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went,
the lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day,
that was against the rule;
It made the children laugh and play
to see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned it out,
but still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about
till Mary did appear.
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"
the eager children cry.
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know"
the teacher did reply.

4. Read second story “Little Lamb", "The Lamb-a-roo", "Brave Charlotte", or "Bad Boys".

5. Fingerplay: Baa, Baa Black Sheep
Baa, baa, black sheep,
have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
three bags full.
One for my master,
one for my dame,
and one for the little boy
who lives in the lane.
Baa, baa, black sheep,
have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
three bags full.
