Getting Ready For St. Patrick's Day



There's been a lot of green--and some gold--around WIPP this week!  We're getting ready for the 24th annual WIPP St. Patrick's Day parade.


Friday, March 15, is not a regular school day for us.  WE WILL NOT HAVE EARLY BIRDS, CARPOOL, OR LUNCH BUNCH.  We ask parents to bring students to the classroom no later than 9:05, so everyone is ready to roll at 9:15.  The parade begins in the church lot in front of the preschool and continues down North Cromwell Road before turning into to May Howard Elementary School's carpool driveway.  We walk down and around the traffic circle before coming back to the church parking lot.  We have many special guests including the Savannah Grand Marshal and his court, a marching band, the Southside Fire Department and the Glor na Daire dancers!  Children are dismissed to their parents immediately following the parade at about 10:00.  

It looks as if the weather will be perfect!!!  We can't wait!

Our 2s join the parade in wagons/strollers pulled by a parent, our 3s ride in decorated trailers, and our 4s march! Everyone is invited to wear green-or your WIPP St. Patrick’s Day t-shirts.  Check backpacks for these tomorrow 3/13.

Jonah and the Whale

Our Bible story this month is Jonah and the Whale.  We've read books about Jonah and talked about how he learned to obey God; retold the story using puppets and felt boards; did some Jonah coloring sheets; and sang our Jonah and the Whale song!










Jonah and the Whale Song
sing to the tune of "London Bridge"

God asked Jonah to obey
To obey,
to obey,
God asked Jonah to obey
But he said No. 
(Shake finger No!)

Jonah was swallowed by a whale
By a whale,
By a whale,
Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Swallowed whole!

(rub tummy at the end)

Jonah prayed to God above
God above,
God above,
Jonah prayed to God above
And was forgiven!

(hold hands in prayer position at the end)

Our 4s celebrated their 100th day of school today!  They did some dressing up, counted out some special 100s snack mix, read counting books, and had at least a hundred happy moments!
