#RAINBOW BOOKENDS TARGET WINDOWS#
Families in Brooklyn hung rainbow art in their windows to cheer up their quarantined neighbors. My preschool students love painting rainbows. Musing the answer to Kermit’s query, I think there are so many songs about rainbows because rainbows simply make people feel happy. Rainbow Connection, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Rainbow Ballerinas, the theme song to Reading Rainbow, and the Youtube jam Double Rainbow popped into my head. In The Muppet Movie, amphibian philosopher Kermit asks, “Why are there so many songs about rainbows?” As I took my fourth walk around the neighborhood the other day (walking is my new coronavirus shutdown hobby), I thought about Kermit’s question and listed all of the songs about rainbows that I know. Read Across America Day is her favorite holiday! When she is not in the classroom, Katherine enjoys building wooden train layouts with her three-year-old son, playing board games while drinking IPA’s with her husband, and taking part in pub trivia. Katherine Willoughby lives is Richmond, Virginia and teaches Junior Kindergarten at the same school where she discovered her love of reading.
