Sunday: Giraffe

Poem: GIRAFFE

Of all the animals in the zoo,
I am the tallest. That is true.
Who am I? I am the giraffe.
I am brown and white with a little red,
And I have two knobs on the top of my head.
Who am I? I am a giraffe.
My neck is long, I am very tall,
But I don't have very much voice at all.
Who am I? I am a giraffe.
I have one big ear on each side of my head.
High up in the air is where I am fed.
Who am I? I am a giraffe.
I walk right up to the tallest tree.
And I eat the leaves that are good for me.
Who am I? I am a giraffe.

Song: Five Little Fishies

Five little fishies swimming in a pool,
(wiggle fingers)

 

First one said, "The pool is cool."
(one finger up, wrap arms around body)

 

Second one said, "The pool is deep."
(two fingers up, measure deep)

 

Third one said, "I want to sleep."
(three fingers up, rest head on hands)

 

Fourth one said, "Let's dive and dip."
(four fingers up, hand dives and dips)

 

Fifth one said, "I spy a ship."
(five fingers up, peer out under hand)

 

Fisherman's boat comes,
(fingers form a V and move away from body)

 

Line goes ker-splash,
(pantomime throwing fishing line)

 

Away the five little fishies dash.
(wiggle five fingers away)

My Elephant by Petr Horáček

Activity: Pretend to be elephants

Treat: Crackers

Nathan thought it was funny when I was showing him how to be an elephant.  I was going to have him color a picture of an elephant, but we ran out of printer paper.  I think he had more fun pretending to be an elephant than he would have had coloring.
