‘No means No!’

This week in class we sang our song, ‘No!’

All the students really enjoyed it:

Here are the lyrics:

No is no
No is always no
If they say no, it means a thousand times no

No plus no equals no
All nos lead to no no no

Finger pointing, eyebrows low
Mouth in the shape of the letter O

Pardon me — No!
Excuse me — No!
May I stay?
Can I go?
No, no, no

Do this — No!
Don’t do that — No!
Sit, stay, roll over
No, no, no

Finger pointing, eyebrows low
Mouth in the shape of the letter O
Red means stop. Do not go.

No, no, no

In class today we had a vocabulary quiz and a spelling quiz. Everyone did really well!

See you next week!
