Learn Something New


One thing I know about myself is that learning new things makes me happy. Since last Christmas, I've been trying to learn new kid songs on guitar to share with my daughter, which has really brought me a lot of joy! And now I'm trying to be brave and use my guitar skills at work, too.

Every Tuesday afternoon, I co-teach a bilingual preschool group. It's one of the things I love best about my job right now. And lately, I've been pushing myself to learn new songs each week to share with the group. This week, I learned how to play "The Wheels on the Bus" on my guitar...luckily my coteacher knew the lyrics in Spanish. For next week, I'm hoping I'll be able to sing along a bit better. So I'm challenging myself to learn some verses this week.

Here are the guitar chords for "The Wheels on the Bus" in English. And below, I'll post the lyrics of the song in Spanish, in case anyone's interested. Fun stuff!
