Activity #2: Wash Your Lyrics!
I hope you are still working on adding lyrics to our school song “We Can Make a Difference”! When you have your verse ready, just email it to me at elise.heard@burnabyschools.ca so I can add them to our collection!
Ms. Stocker found this fun website where you can take your song lyrics you wrote, or lyrics from one of your favourite songs, and put them into a simple program that creates a Hand Washing poster for you!
