Hello, hello, hello and how are you?
I'm fine, I'm fine, and I hope that you are too.
for closing I say, we are out of time, and out of stories; please put your
carpet squares in a neat pile in the corner and leave your name tags onthe table
for next time. The stories I read today may be checked out, or I can help you
find some other ones to take home.

This is what I'm using right now, for both programs:
OPENER
I can wiggle my fingers (wiggle your fingers)
I can wiggle my toes (wiggle toes)
I can wiggle my shoulders (wiggle shoulders)
I can wiggle my nose (with your hand, wiggle your nose. As you say the
words, it sounds funny)
When all of my wiggles have gone away (wiggle arms vigorously)
Then, I'm ready for stories today (fold hands in lap or in front of you)
CLOSING
(I'm sorry to say, my 2-year-old daughter worships at the Church of
Barney, but I do occasionally find some things to use in my preschool
programs. I saw Ella Jenkins sing this song on the show. You could
probably adapt it to any simple tune).
--I have the kids stand in a circle, holding hands, and they swing
their hands as we sing--
Good friends shake hands, 'cause it's time to go
Good friends shake hands, 'cause it's time to go
Good friends shake hands, 'cause it's time to go
Hope to see you another day.

Subject: Opening and Closing songs
I like to start my Toddler storytimes with Open, Shut Them, (not really a
song, but a consistent starter,) and close with Goodbye, Farewell, Auf
Weidersehen, Adieu from Sound of Music. Also, before we say "good-bye"
to the toddlers we ususally do Gutherie's "Put your finger in the Air"
if the toddlers are not too restless. For pre-school storytime, I love
to start with Raffi's "Shake your Sillies Out." Closing is usually a
stamp
on the hand rather than a song.

Subject: Re: toddler opening and closing songs
Leverne and "Yackers,
Hi! I had a favorite for both opening and closing. Both come from one of the
"Piggyback" Songbooks. Unfortunately, I don't currently have access to
those
books, but I think it might have been the "Infants and Toddlers" book.
Look
under "welcome" and "goodbye" in the index for the melodies.
The opening song : Welcome, welcome everyone
Welcome, welcome everyone.
Now you're here let's have some fun.
First we'll clap our hands just so,
then we'll bend and touch our toes.
Welcome, welcome everyone.
Now you're here let's have some fun.
The closing song: Time to say goodbye
Oh, it's time to say good-bye to our friends,
Oh, it's time to say good-bye to our friends,
Oh, it's time to say good-bye,
Make a smile and wink an eye,
Oh, it's time to say good-bye to our friends.
(We always said Good-bye after the 1, 2, and last lines. I also added a 2nd
verse, inserting the word "wave" for "say" and we would
wave.)
Hope this helps.

Subject: Stumper tree poem
We have a patron searching for this poem. All she remembers are these
two stanzas. She memorized it in 1955.
"A fairy walked in the forest.
She heard a fir tree whine,
'The other trees don't have to wear
sharp needles such as mine.
'I wish that I had leaves of glass
That sparkeled in the sun.'
The fairy heard the fir tree's wish,
And changed them, every one."
The rest of the poem goes on to describe how a wind breaks the tree's
leaves, so the tree wishes for leaves of gold, which get stolen by a
robber. Then, leaves of green, like other trees, and an animal comes by
and eats them. Finally the tree wishes to be as it was, a fir tree, and
is happy about being who it is.
Patron has found a prose form, that stated it was based on a german folktale.
A librarian out of state searched the following sources:
Fiction, Folklore, Fantasy and Peotry for Children; Subject Index to
Poetry for Children & supplements; Columbia Granger's index to Poetry;
Index to Children's Poetry & Supplements; Index to Peotry for Children
and Young People - searching under fir tree, tree, and fairy / faerie /
fairies.
The following possible citations were found, but our library does not own
these titles:
"The Fir Tree" by Edith M. Thomas in: Our Holidays in Poetry
"The Song of the Fir" by E. Farjeon in Eleanor FArjeon's Peoms for
Children
"The Fir Tree: by Cecil Cowdrey in A Child's Book of Songs: by Robert
Foresman.
If you have any luck with this one, please email me the source or fax me
the poem, with the source cited at (907)562-3206.

Subject: stumper - chrysanthemum story
Hello all, I have a patron looking for a book that she read in the fourth
grade (1965). She remembers it as being a collection of Christmas stories,
one in particular which featured a chrysanthemum as a main symbol in the
story. The chrysanthemum story is Asian - perhaps something to do with a
particular part of their culture and why the flower is so symbolic. She
remembers the story as very "touching" and it has stuck in her mind
over
the years.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
