[LM_NET] HIT: MARCH COMES IN LIKE A LION.... POEMS, SONGS, PLAY, ACTIVITIES, BOOKS

[Lori Lombard <maryjane13148@YAHOO.COM>]

I only got requests for a posting of book titles that have to do with March coming 
in like a lion.... So I searched and searched and didn't come up with any book 
titles other than - Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs by Barrett and Snow Lion by 
McPhail. Someone mentioned Tomie DePaola's biography starts out with "March comes 
in like a lion..  Both of the first titles don't mention March coming in like a 
lion but with the activities mentioned below you could use them. I think this is a 
real need for any of you budding authors who are looking for a topic to write about!

  LIKE A LION 
Sung to "Mary Had a Little Lamb" 

March comes in like a lion, 
like a lion, like a lion 
March comes in like a lion 
And goes our like a lamb. 

March comes in with a great big wind 
great big wind, great big wind 
March comes in with a great big wind 
And goes out with a breeze. 


March Song 

When March comes in like a lion 
A lamb trots out, we hear. 
But when the lamb comes first, my friend, 
It's the roar going out that we fear! 

So each and every boy and girl 
Should watch as March comes in; 
We'll know the way the month might end 
If we know the way it begins.

  Sung to: "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

March comes in like a lion, like a lion, like a lion
March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.

March comes in with a great big wind,
Great big wind, great big wind.
March comes in with a great big wind,
And goes out with a breeze.

  March Winds Blow added 4-18-99 Original Author Unknown 
  Sung to: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"

March winds blow the kites around,
Blow them right up off the ground.
March means spring is almost here,
Sounds of birds you soon will hear.
Watch the leaves sprout on the trees,
Soon you'll see some honeybees. 
   
  *Kelli, in Oregon, kicks off the "Wind & Air" section of my website by sharing 
what she does for this unit: 
Language/Science: We talk about the wind.  I bring in a fan and turn it on at 
different levels so they can feel it blowing slow, medium, and fast.  We read 
stories about the wind while the fan is blowing.  We gather several items from our 
classroom to see if they blow in the wind. 
Door Hangers: We use the saying, "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a 
lamb."  On one side of the door hanger, we make the head of a lion: A circle is the 
face, then children wrap strips of paper around a crayon to make them curl, then 
glue the curls around the lion face.  The other side of the hanger is the lamb: We 
glue cotton balls to a black circle for the head and add black rectangles for legs. 
 The children take their hangers home and hang them on their bedroom door and 
change it according to whether it's a Lion Day -- Windy or a Lamb Day -- Calm.  
This is great fun for the kids and it gets the parents involved too.
