Singing with Shane
April 25, 2007
As you know, Shane runs our bridge during work hours and after hours is the lead singer in a band. This morning, the two worlds came together. Four kindergarten classes joined Shane for a sing-a-long. He used the Logitech camera with the PVX software to sing The Itsy Bitsy Spider to them as a spider. He was also a sun, a gorilla, and a fish! He sang several other songs and the students loved it.
