This past week, I researched Canva's AI tools and had it rewrite the song, Five Little Pumpkins, and turn it into a whimsical tale. It was amusing, to say the least. I had fun using Canva to illustrate and record that tale. Most of this video was produced in Canva, with the recording of the song done in Soundtrap, and the final edits to put the three videos together in Final Cut Pro.

0:00-1:00 Song (I recorded myself singing it very lightly in the background)

0:52-4:37 Whimsical Tale of Five Little Pumpkins

4:37-end - Steady Beat or Boomwhacker Play-Along Uses in the classroom:

This could be used in the following ways:

• Video for a sub when you are out this month

• Sing-along - Steady beat play-along

• Boomwhacker play-along

• Ask your students to create a story like this one about the 5 little pumpkins as a writing assignment

• Reinforce reading in your classroom by having them read the video before singing the video I hope you and your students enjoy this one.
