liked to sit on my lap. one of her favorite songs was “john the rabbit.” it was a call and response song where i sang the call and the students 49 twice while singing the repeating phrase, “oh, yes!” vanessa liked to 50 her hands together with mine and clap with me. but she 51 said or sang a word.one day late in the school year, when the song was finished, vanessa turned around, looked at me dead in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “oh, yes!” i opened my mouth in 52 and for that moment i was the one who could not speak. when my heart 53 started beating again, i looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also 54 . through music, we had made an awesome connection.several years later, i passed vanessa in town. i stopped my car and waved to say hello. she waved back with a big 55 on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had 56 so many times in our music class. this precious little girl, 57 her connection with music, left a(n) 58 on

study done in daylight hours, it will take them one and a half hours to do the same task at night. *take breaks. dont plan marathon study time. have a short rest before you study again. *by using
