This music teacher dad is having a blast! I hope you do too!
Take this so-mi challenge and let me know how it goes! And, I made some videos about rabbits. These are some of my favorite rabbit songs. Hopefully these songs you can sing every time a rabbit appears in a story you are reading, or if you spot a rabbit on a walk outside!

Need to Move? Feeling stuck in the house? Try making a train with your family (or pets - if they will not get upset!) and move around your home! Remember trains go fast and slow, go up hills and down mountains, and even go through tunnels. Maybe you will make a tunnel out of pillows, blankets, and chairs for you to pass through? You can sing these songs while moving or listen to Train songs like "Chattanooga Choo Choo" by the Glen Miller Orchestra, Take the A-Train" by Duke Ellington, or "Long Train Running" by the Doobey Brothers.
I hope you enjoy all of these train songs and books.
p.s. Thank you for all of your who filled out the survey! If you didn't get a chance, it is below the lesson.
