You just never know when or where you might find a rainbow.
“Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder.”
-E.B. White-
Bev Bos was THE best when it comes to children, especially music.
I still sing this song to children.
Every child loves a rainbow.
Every child needs to look for a rainbow,
even grown-up children.
I have been teaching preschool for over thirty-five years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about.
I was a live guest on the Kelly Clarkson Show. I am highlighted in the seventh edition of Jim Trelease's million-copy bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital, and the Massachusetts State House in Boston.
Ah a girl after my own heart! I have a folder of ‘accidental rainbows’ I’ve taken over the years, but never found one on someone’s head! I’m jealous! 🤣
Hey, I’ve got one… ‘and the teacher inside my iPhone is as awesome as awesome can be’!!! What a great thought to read and song to hear before calling it a day. The song just reminds us that it is ‘a wonderful world’.
Jennie, when I was working my sales job, I spent lots of time in the car, listening to music. I heard that Louie Armstrong song, ‘Wonderful World’, and learned the lyrics. Every now and then, I ‘sing’ it. The poem reminded me of the song. 😁
You may not know this, but in my will that’s the song I want played at my funeral…because it is so wonderful. I love that song. I’m glad my poem reminded you of the song. Really! The other song at my funeral? Bells of Peace by Jack Hartman.
Wow, that’s going to be some service. And thank you for sharing. May I suggest that you consider, ‘If You’re Happy and You Know It…’, because you always have a happy outlook and make others around you the same. I’ve had ‘Wonderful World’ stuck in my head all day.
Love this! So funny and proves your theory 🌈
Thanks, Beth. It does! He never knew it was there.
Wonderful Big smiles… May your day be filled with rainbows Jennie xx ❤
Thank you, Sue! 💕
A good one delivering smiles!
Always happy to deliver smiles, Frank!
I agree!! That song is fun. I hadn’t heard it before.
Thanks, Deborah! It’s an old song, but a good one.
Rainbows show up in the darndest places!! I love this.
They do! Glad you enjoyed this, Darlene. 😀

It was a treat for me. He never knew it was there. From one rainbow girl to another, thank you, and keep looking!
Oh I love this tune. Kids music is for everyone, too!
🙂
You are so right, Laura!
😻
😍
This is such fun
Thanks, Robbie!
I always look for rainbows…in any situation. That kind of wonder is worth keeping your eyes peeled for, Jennie. 🙂
It definitely is, and I’m glad you look for rainbows, too. 😀
This is the first time I’ve seen a head rainbow! I loved the song. It put a big grin on my face.
It was the first time I saw one, too! Definitely grins and smiles. 😀
😀
That’s such a good sighting, and really amusing too. Well done, Jennie.
Best wishes, Pete.
It was so unexpected, and it certainly made me smile, too. Thank you, Pete.
Smiles for every color. 😁
Yes! Who know a rainbow could be on a head?
Ha ha ha.
Shining out from the inside!!
Yes!
rainbow tears of happiness
Aww…😍
If we look for it, we will find it.
Looking is the key.
Lovely Song. How wonderful the Rainbow is reflected on the head of the gentleman. And your words are simple and wholesome.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the song, and my words. Hubby had no idea a rainbow was on his head.
I wasn’t sure if it was hubby. So funny
It was, and he had no idea there was a rainbow on his head. Yes, so funny!
Lol
That’s so true. Even adults exclaim out loud when they see a rainbow.
Yes! Rainbows bring out the joy and child in everyone.

Steve, you’re the best! Now I’m singing that song in my head with your verse. Despite what we hear on the news, it’s a wonderful world. 😍

Thanks, Steve. That’s so nice. I actually think the nice and happy award (NHA) goes to you.😍
Jennie, do you ever get the feeling that we’re in a club, the Mutual Admiration Club😂😂😂
We are! 😀
👍
You never know where the next rainbow will be. Great model! I hear he comes with the highest of recommendations from Jennie Fitzkee. 😊
He does! And yes, you never know. 😀
I still look for a rainbow when its sunny and raining 🙂 x
Me, too! Finding one is always a treat.
Rainbows are everywhere! Enjoy!
Yes, and yes! 😍
Wonderful. Nice to see rainbows and children love it.
Yes, it’s always nice to see rainbows and children. Thank you, Kamal!
Yes absolutely. Always welcome Jennie 😊😊
What a fun shot, thank you!
It’s a new song. 🎼 Someone Under the Rainbow 🎼
Have a great weekend!
Many thanks, Resa!
Love this
Thank you.
Is this what they mean by the mark of the beast?
That’s funny!
did you tell him and what was his reaction?
A big smile!
Rainbows are so very magical – and we’re into the month of rainbows with sunshine and showers…
Yes, and yes!
So cool!
It was! 😀
Wow! Charlie has a prism hanging in the kitchen window. I will have to see if it ever shows him in the same light.
I hope it does! We don’t have a prism, so the source of the rainbow remains a mystery.
Thanks for the big smile, Jennie!
You’re welcome, Dan! 🙂
Funny and inspiring too. Thanks for sharing, Jennie! New England – Where the rainbow rocks! 🙂 xx Michael
Glad you liked this, Michael! Many thanks.
cute! haha!
I love when my grandkids find rainbows around the house. I have never heard that song before, but it is so catchy. Love it.
The kids at school sometimes find a rainbow, and it’s always exciting. Like you, I love when that happens. The song is an oldie but goodie.
