Good bye song
This was pretty good. A little short but good.
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!
My first virtual Storytime!
I did my old Stand by - PIZZA!
It feels pretty weird to do a storytime on zoom.
Here is what I did:
Hello song
2nd hello song
The little Red Hen Makes a Pizza by Sturges
PIZZA (to bingo)
Hi Pizza Man! by Walter
If you want to eat some pizza clap your hands
Leftover pizza poem/ flannel board
I am a pizza - with uke
Goodbye song
The kids were on mute a lot of the time and those that weren't were very talkative. I heard they couldn't hear my uke and the song is an echo song so the delay made it weird. They liked the books I think. I might have cut it a little short...30 minutes but that included the getting settled part.
I will have to do some more in November...hope they go as well.
