Wow, we've been in school for a week and a half already, and we've had a great time! Our focus these past days has been learning all about 1st grade and getting to know each other. To help learn everyone's name, we've played name games and sang name songs. Seems like the favorite was "Willoughby Wallaby Woo" by Raffi. (You'll find the lyrics below.) It's a silly rhyming song that's simply loads of fun. As each day passes, we are building our learning community and becoming more of a team. We are off to a fantastic start!

Willoughby wallaby wee

an elephant sat on me

Willoughby wallaby woo

an elephant sat on you

Willoughby wallaby Wike

an elephant sat on Mike

Willoughby wallaby Wenny

an elephant sat on Jenny

(and so on)
