Yesterday we did a news story about llamas . One fact about the llama is it needs a little water.
We also did a long news story.

for Mr. H

Today it's snowy and wet. It was above freezing this morning! It is all most 3C at lunch! That means snow is melting and the playground is VERY WET!

But we're very glad the groundhog didn't see his shadow yesterday.

by Thera and Arthur

llamas

Today we talked about llamas and the Andes Mountains. Here is a silly song we like that has very little to do with llamas.



Me and my llama
Me and my llama
Goin' to the dentist today

Seems a little crazy
Guess you're just too lazy
You've gotta get your teeth cleaned today

Me and my llama
Jumped out of our pajamas
And ran off to the dentist today

Me and my llama
Me and my llama
We're goin' to the dentist, oo-ee
Yes, it's just my llama and me

Tell me if you feel afraid
Remember just to whisper softly into my ear
I won't leave and go away
You know I'm gonna be right here.

Open up wide now
Let him look inside now
'Cause after this we'll go on our way

I won't let him hurt you
I'll be right there beside you
And I can tell that you'll be okay

Me and my llama
Jumped out of our pajamas
And ran off to the dentist today

Me and my llama
Me and my llama
We're goin' to the dentist, oo-ee
Yes, it's just my llama and me

Da da da da da da (etc.)
'Cause after this we'll go out and play

Me and my llama
Me and my llama
The sun is bright and now we are free
Yes, it's just my llama and me

Thank you for your comments about the continent game. I'm glad that many people liked it. I agree with your comments that the game was too easy for you. Actually, that was not the game I had planned for you!
