...How COOL is this??!  Rock star Jon Bon Jovi popped into a Florida Kindergarten class meeting last week to sing with them!   A little bit ago, Bon Jovi announced that he was writing a song about the current Caronavirus pandemic and was asking for song suggestions on what to write about.  (How does online learning make you feel?  What do you miss most about school?)  Well, Mr. Bonick's kindergarten class was able to help him out with the new lyrics to his song, Do What You Can.  Check out this clip from their video meeting!  If you could suggest lyrics for Bon Jovi to put into his next song, what would they be?    Watch the Video HERE!
