During the second week of November,
Miss Morrow’s eighth grade library students journeyed to the kindergarten classrooms to teach Mother Goose nursery rhymes to the students.
|
|
| |
The visits were the culmination of several weeks of preparation by the eighth graders. The eighth grade students’ first task was to memorize four nursery rhymes. If you would like to listen to a student recite her rhymes, click here. The students’ second task was to read the article “Why Use Classic Nursery Rhymes” which listed seven reasons to use classic nursery rhymes. Students selected the following two reasons as their top choices from the article: (1) nursery rhymes are fun and (2) nursery rhymes enrich vocabulary. |

Next, Miss Morrow paired the students together, assigned the pairs a nursery rhyme and provided them with a skit from the book
You Read to Me, I’ll Read to You: Very Short Mother Goose Tales to Read Together by Mary Ann Hoberman. |

Finally, the 8th graders selected two activities to complete with the kindergarten students. Activity choices ranged from coloring pages and puppet making to
jumping over a candlestick.
The day 8th graders visited kindergarten, they taught the students their nursery rhyme, performed their skits, and completed the activities they planned. |
