Farm Animals Virtual Storytime

 This one I only had 3 kids show up but 6 were registered. This is not unusual. We get many more for specials so we might cut back in the spring.

Here is my agenda:

Hello song

Book 1 : Mrs. Wishy Washy's Farm by Crowley

Song 1 : Wishy Washy Washer Woman by the Learning Station

Book 2 : Farmyard Beat by Craig told with puppets

Song 2 : Old MacDonald with puppets

Book 3: Do Cows Meow? by Yoon

Song 3: Farm Animal Hokey Pokey

Book 4: Barnyard Banter by Fleming

Goodbye song


This was a little weird. The kids didn't show themselves until the end and didn't unmute much so I did with this very little feedback. It felt like I was just practicing. I was hoping using the laptop would make it so I saw the kids more but they haven't got their camera on. I will most likely go back to the Ipad next week. The sound is better etc. One good thing about having no one unmuted is I got through 4 books...that never happens. Next week is Thanskgiving/fall. Then I am off storytime until January. 😀

 Virtual Preschool Storytime


Dogs!

This is my second and it went pretty well. Just a small group of 4 kids.

I had to use the iPad because the laptop's sound is not working well.

Opening song - Hello friends!

Book #1  Motor Miles by Burningham

Song - If you're a dog and you know it

Books #2 - When a Dog is a Dog by Shaskan

Song - One from the left by Jim Gill in honor of election day

Flannel - Dog's Colorful Day by Dodd

Book #3 - The Doghouse by Thomas

Song - There's a dog in school on uke - I just did 3 verses

Goodbye song- Goodbye friends!


I only heard one kid who was unmuted so it felt like a practice session. Also, since I was spotlighted, I could only see myself. Not bad but weird!
