Every once in a while a storytime just doesn't go over very well. Well, Tuesday was that day! My Family Storytime was lacking many of my "regulars", several new families with younger children and unengaged parents, and technology issues. A "perfect storm".

Wiggle Worms
Here are some worms who are, oh, so sad.
They've lost all the wiggles that they once had.
they wonder if you, just for today
Would lend them your wiggles so they can play.
Wiggle them up and wiggle them down
Wiggle the worms around and around
Wiggle them fast and wiggle them slow
Wiggle them high and wiggle them low.
Wiggle them over your shoes and your socks
Them wiggle them back into their box.

That worked much better!
