Friday, January 30

We were very busy during our Morning Work today.  We worked at coloring and cutting with Jonah and the Whale pictures and the letter W.  We built with Lincoln Logs on the rug.  We assembled gingerbread houses at the manipulative table, and we sang and danced to Who Did Swallow Jonah?  See below for a link to this song.  Our class loves it!

Who Did?
Who did, who did,
Who did, who did
Who did swallow
Jo, Jo, Jo, Jo
Who did, who did,
Who did, who did
Who did swallow
Jo, Jo, Jo, Jo
Who did, who did,
Who did, who did
Who did swallow
Jo, Jo, Jo, Jo
Who did swallow Jonah,
Who did swallow Jonah
Who did swallow Jonah down?

Whale did, whale did,
Whale did, whale did
Whale did swallow
Jo, Jo, Jo, Jo
Whale did, whale did,
Whale did, whale did
Whale did swallow
Jo, Jo, Jo, Jo
Whale did, whale did,
Whale did, whale did
Whale did swallow
Jo, Jo, Jo, Jo
Whale did swallow Jonah,
Whale did swallow Jonah
Whale did swallow Jonah down

Here's a link to a youtube video of the song.  We only sing the first two parts about Jonah! http://youtu.be/UZ5UeNOXbOQ



We had a wonderful time outside today.  It was sunny and cool; perfect weather for running and playing with our friends.  We were also lucky enough to see Paco and Taco and two lizard babies as we were lining up to come back inside!





When we came back into the classroom we got started on our centers.  At our rug center it was all about cars!  We had cars and race tracks and a garage and a car wash.  It was lots of fun!  At Miss Paula's center we made our placemats for next month.  They are going to be beautiful!  At Miss Kathleen's center we made groundhogs that popped out of their holes.  We practiced telling the story of how the groundhog comes out of hibernation to check for his shadow.
