JUMP JIM JOE

Second Grades had fun playing the circle game "Jump Jim Joe." This game is known as a snowball dance.  But it has nothing to do with snow!  So why is it called a snowball dance?  (Hint:  First there was one... Then 1+1... 2+2... 4+4..)

The music is Peter and Mary Alice Amidon performing "Jump Jim Joe" from their album by the same name.  We were very fortunate to have had them both at Porters Point School for a 5-day residency back in March of 2010.  We learned so much from them.  They are fantastic musicians and educators!!
