First, ask children to think of something new they learned in school that day. Then slap thighs and snap fingers as you go around the classroom and say:

     Hey, hey, what do you say?
     What did you learn in school today?
     (Child responds what he or she learned.
     Continue saying the chant to the next child.)

Hint! You can also throw a ball (or bean bag) around the room. As children catch the ball they say something they learned and then throw the ball to another friend.

End the day with a smile with this song to the tune of "La Cucaracha."

We had a good day. We had a great day.
So pat yourself on the back. (Pat self on back.)
We had a good day. We had a great day.
So pat yourself on the back. (Pat self on back.)

We thought a lot today. We learned in many ways.
So kiss your brains. (Pretend to kiss brain.)

It’s time to say, “so long,” and end with a song.
Wave good-bye to your friends. (Wave and smile.)
