Some things you can do before virtual story time:
Tell your child that group is happening prior. Perhaps you can remind them the night before, and remind them again in the morning. Give a 10 or 5 minute warning before we start. Designate a space in your home. It can be the kitchen table, sitting on the sofa, on a coffee table. If your child needs to wiggle and move that's ok! You can even put your device on the floor and let your child lay on their belly, or sit criss cross applesauce. Remember we are all learning together, and we will find our groove.

Keep the learning going at home in between groups. Read everyday for 15 mintutes, simple songs, games, and projects are great ways to keep your child busy at home. try get outisde if you can, or do indoor gross motor activites. See additional resources below. If you do any of the suggested activites share it with us! We love to see pictures of our friends.
