This week included our unit on nursery rhymes. This type of rhyme is different than our Dr. Seuss nonsense rhymes and we had lots of fun talking about silly times saying these rhymes. If you take a minute to look at your child's folder of nursery rhymes you will see a christian verse to correspond with the traditional rhyme. My favorite was "Jack, be loving, Jack, be kind: Let your love for Jesus shine."
On our 100th day we talked about "twinkle, twinkle" and added 100 tiny stars to our papers. We all did a good job and were proud of this milestone. It was an awesome thought that our sheet had 100 stars and that was a lot, but more awesome is the fact that no one really knows how many stars are in the sky except God. We also talked about "Jack& Jill" and "Jack be nimble." We even acted out jumping over a candlestick.
We ended the week with "hickory, dickory, dock." The children seemed to most enjoy talking about times when they heard this rhyme from family and friends. It was simple, but it was a great unit. We played with our nursery rhyme art projects and sang lots of silly songs. This is childhood at its very best.
