project one song. For each line, read it with "hmm" in the blank and ask "Which word has Alphabet A?" The class types the word in the chat; you click it. When the song is done, click Sing it and sing it together, once slowly, once fast. For Your line, everyone writes a line in the chat; read the best ones aloud. A word the list does not know is not wrong: decide it live.
