I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor

Language Activity: Jimmy’s Boa By: Trinka Hakes Noble

“I’m being swallowed by a boa constrictor”

Ms. Kelley and the Cheetahs read The Day Jimmy’s Boa Ate the Wash. Joshua told us that he had this book and helped predict what was going to happen next. Then Ms. Kelley read Jimmy’s Boa Bounces Back. Both of the books have funny stories about a boa constrictor and how it can ruin thing after thing. The Cheetahs really liked both stories because the books had very detailed pictures.

Ms. Rebekah and the Cheetahs played a great game when we came in from outside. She used the tunnel to pretend like it was the boa constrictor. The boa started out by eating her feet and then moved up to her legs, and then onto her stomach and then up to her neck and then the boa swallowed her whole (this would make Ms. Rebekah vanish into the tunnel). The Cheetahs thought that this was funny so they each took turns getting eaten by the boa constrictor.
