Hello, friends! How are you today? Did you have fun at school? Did you learn new things and play with your friends? Have you been reading lots of books?
Today, we have a special story called “Rocking Chair” by Ellie Kimo and Lashana Richardson. Let’s find out what makes this rocking chair so special!
Rocking chair, rocking chair, with a squeaky seat. When you move, you make funny sounds on the floor. Rocking chair, rocking chair, as you sway back and forth, you make me feel like I’m flying too!
Sometimes, I imagine I’m on an airplane, soaring through the sky. Other times, I feel like I’m on a boat, gently floating on the ocean waves. Even though I’m sitting right here, the rocking chair makes me feel like I can go anywhere!
Rocking chair, rocking chair, so comfy and cozy. Do you have magic inside you? You help me fall asleep, and sometimes even Mommy and Daddy too!
That was the story of the “Rocking Chair.” Do you have a rocking chair at home? I remember having a special one when I was little. It’s always so nice to sit and relax in a rocking chair, don’t you think?
If you liked this story, you can find a copy to read at home. Don’t forget to tell us if you enjoyed it! We love hearing from you.
Thanks for joining us today. We’ll see you again soon. Until then, take care and have lots of fun with your family!
Goodbye!
Rocking Chair Adventure: Imagine your own magical journey on a rocking chair! Find a safe place to sit and pretend you are on a rocking chair. Close your eyes and think about where you would like to go. Are you flying in the sky or sailing on the ocean? Draw a picture of your adventure and share it with your friends or family.
Build Your Own Rocking Chair: Use blocks, pillows, or any safe materials you have at home to build a pretend rocking chair. Once it’s ready, sit on it and gently rock back and forth. Can you feel the magic? Talk about how it feels to rock and what sounds you hear. Does it remind you of anything from the story?
Rocking Chair Detective: Go on a hunt around your home or classroom to find things that rock or sway like a rocking chair. It could be a swing, a hammock, or even a toy. Make a list or draw pictures of what you find. Discuss with your friends or teacher how these things are similar to a rocking chair.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

“Rocking Chair”
Rocking chair, rocking chair, squeaky seat. When you move, you make the floorboards creak. Rocking chair, rocking chair, as you glide and groove, you make me think I’m gliding too. Sometimes I think I’m on a plane, coasting through the sky. Sometimes I think I’m on the ocean, gentle waves passing by. Even though I see that I’m right here in this chair, when you move, you make me think I can go anywhere.
Rocking chair, rocking chair, comfy seat. Is there magic in you? Not only do you put me to sleep, but sometimes Mommy and Daddy too.
And that was “Rocking Chair.” Do you have a rocking chair or a favorite rocking chair? I remember I had a special rocking chair when I was a little girl. It’s always so soothing to sit in a rocking chair, don’t you think?
