Bears--Virtual Storytime

I finally get to do storytime again--kind of.  The Early Learning Librarians get to be filmed and our shortened (~15 minute) storytime will be put our our library's Facebook page and storyitmes without books will additionally be put on our YouTube channel.

Welcome Song

Storytime ABC's
Welcome, welcome everyone
We're together let's have some fun
Stories, songs and puppets too
Storytime is the pace for you!
Do you know your ABCs?
Come along and sing with me!

Now I've sung my ABCs
Next time won't you sing with me?

Guess What I Brought

This is an animal.
It is a wild animal--you couldn't have one for a pet
This animal catches fish to eat with their strong jaws and claws.
This animal lives where there is a lot of snow and ice.

POLAR BEAR!

Parent Tip

Sharing informational books with your child helps children to understand that books can help us learn about new things.
