Storytime

Brief description:
The method for the program could be used for programs for all ages and descriptions. But ours replaces traditional storytime.

How-to for this program:

We created a "room" using google sheets. We placed images in the room, and each image links to another page, or to YouTube videos of either our own creation or someone else's. The website remove.bg is useful in removing backgrounds from images. YouTube videos are unlisted, but could be public.

We have made 4 so far. We release weekly and post on Facebook as well as release to local preschools by email. We do perform the traditional storytime using the same books and activities outside, masked, and socially distanced.
