The month of summer and handwashing!"},"content":{"rendered":"

We finally made it to June and we are welcoming students and teachers back to school. It’s been a lot of work to get ready for this\u00a0 (especially for Mr. Baldin, Ms. Sandberg and Ms. McKay!) and it’s been a little bit nerve-wracking too. And… it’s so great to see people in the school and hear their voices not coming through a computer!<\/p>\n

To celebrate, I decided to hold a contest<\/span><\/strong>!! The prize will be a musical instrument! – (not a recorder – unless you really want one). You can choose between a baritone ukulele, a guitar or a djembe (drum)!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I think we need a new handwashing song<\/strong> to help kids (and adults) remember the best way to wash their hands.<\/p>\n

Criteria – It needs to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. rhyme and have rhythm.<\/li>\n
  2. have repetition (but not TOO much repetition) – you know… catchy!<\/li>\n
  3. be relatively easy to remember.<\/li>\n
  4. be fun and easy to sing (some parts can be just spoken but the chorus has to have a melody).<\/li>\n
  5. last for 20 seconds.<\/li>\n
  6. list the proper method for washing hands thoroughly to prevent the spread of COVID-19.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Up for the challenge? Submit your lyrics and melody to me by Thursday, June 18th<\/strong> and Ms. Kwok and I will decide who is the winner! You don\u2019t need to sing it<\/strong> <\/span>(but you certainly can if you want to!) just make sure that the rhythm of the lyrics matches the rhythm of the melody! You can choose a song that already exists and just change the lyrics to fit the rhythm of the melody.<\/p>\n

    The prize will be a musical instrument! – (not a recorder – unless you really want one). You can choose between a baritone ukulele, a guitar, or a djembe (drum)!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
