Our nursery rhyme unit was my favorite one yet! Learning nursery rhymes helps promote memorization skills and teaches young children about the rhythm and rhyme of language. We had such a fun time memorizing some rhymes and we learned many new vocabulary words too! We learned the words "lane," "fetch," "frighten," "fleece," "tuffet," "nimble," and the list goes on!
We ended our unit with a Nursery Rhyme Day. Each student got to dress up as their favorite nursery rhyme character and we had many fun centers that morning. They played with moon dough, made a twinkle, twinkle star wand, ate some cute cupcakes (thank you to Ginger Dammers!), worked a nursery rhyme puzzle, and helped put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
After that, we acted out the rhymes for Mrs. Miller's Pre K-4 class. We had some wonderful and original costumes! Everyone looked great. :)
Where's little Boyd who looks after the sheep?
He's under the haystack, fast asleep!
Hey Diddle Diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon!
Pat a cake, pat a cake, Baker's man...
Caroline, Tiana, and Burke baked us a cake as fast as they could!
(The muffin man, Bowen, was so sweet to bring us all real yummy muffins to eat!)
