before school starts

The black cat saw a hat and thought to himself what was that? The bat that flew over the hat said wow look at that fat cat While the black cat went and sat on the hat The bat thought what a strange sight is that Shouldn’t the hat be on the Cat? I can’t find my dime, I have a quarter nickel and penny But no time to find my dime My piggy bank makes the jingle and jime sound When I shake it to get all my change out The shinny little coins drop one by one for me to count 1 cent for a penny 5 cents for a nickel 10 cents for a dime 25 cents for a quarter 100 cense and I will have a dollar in time. Where is my dime? https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/canadian-coin-posters--77898268541204249/

Swing time Storytime - Sad (story 5) in editing

 Sometimes I'm sad and it's ok to feel sad

It's not bad, I am not mad, I am just a little sad

A friend asked me why I was sad

I said I don't want to talk about it at this time 

I just want to be left alone 

It's not bad and I am not mad, I am just a little sad


My teacher asked me how I was today

and I said a little sad

she asked me if I wanted to talk about it 

and I said no, I just want to be left alone

As all the class sat there and stared at me

But I knew everyone has their day they are sad too

It's not bad and I am not mad, I am only a little sad


The teacher said I should go visit the principle 

and the principal asked me how I was feeling and I said sad

She said it's ok to sometimes be sad 

Its not bad and you are not mad, just a little sad


Then the principal asked me if I wanted to talk about it 

and I said no because I might cry

She asked me why? and said maybe talking about it might bring some joy into my life.

So I said" Mommy or Daddy didn't give me a hug goodbye,

It made me want to cry not getting a hug goodbye

You see it's not bad and I am not mad, just a little sad


Then the principal said "This idea is mine"

As the recess bell rang and all the kids went outside 

The principal said, "what if I give you a hug this time?"

and I said, "It's not the same" 

and she said, "But we can try?"and I said" That would be nice"

Then she gave me a hug and asked me "do you want to go and play outside?"

and I said, "that would also be nice"

and I played outside with all of my friends and I was happy again

The end.

Swing time Storytime learning - Happy (story 4) in editing

 Happy is the word for me

Happy is the butterflies and bees

Happy is the first snowfall

Happy is us one and all


Happy is our hearts and minds 

Happy is our sun that shines

Happy is our rainy days 

Happy is all of us when we play


Happy is a song we sing

Happy is a hug we keep

Happy is a lot of things 

Happy are we as loving human beings
