So there have been enough little stories Carrie has volunteered about the past few days that I think she’s probably actually enjoying school, and just might be a little overwhelmed by trying to describe it. Her favorite parts are still recess and riding the bus, but really, who doesn’t like those things? I love the song they learned in music the other day, Elephants Have Wrinkles. She couldn’t quite remember all the words, so I googled it:
Elephants Have Wrinkles by April Kassirer
Elephants have wrinkles, wrinkles,wrinkles
Elephants have wrinkles, wrinkles everywhere
On their toes (on their toes)
No one knows (no one knows) why -y-y-y-Elephants have wrinkles, wrinkles, wrinkles
Elephants have wrinkles, wrinkles everywhere
On their knees (on their knees)
On their toes (on their toes)
No one knows (no one knows) why -y-y-y-Elephants have wrinkles, wrinkles,wrinkles
Elephants have wrinkles, wrinkles everywhere
On their hips (on their hips) ….. knees, toes(more verses:)
On their ears (on their ears) ….. hips, knees, toes
On their trunks (on their trunks) ….. ears, hips, knees, toes
On their teeth ….. Spoken: On their teeth? That’s ridiculous!
It’s really, really cute. It’s a movement song, so the kids touch each part they’re singing about while they’re singing. Very cute!
The kids are both healthy at this point, although I’m sitting her trying to figure out if I’m coming down with this illness now… Probably not, right? Just a scratchy throat, might just be allergies. (Yeah, I know, probably wishful thinking, but hey, whatever it takes.)
