Teaching with Nursery Rhymes

Nursery rhymes are an easy way to teach young children. They naturally love the playful rhythms and songs.

Nursery rhymes make a great co-op class too! I taught a preschool class and each week we would read the rhyme, act it out, and do a craft.

A  little peek into our learning room:

We are reading Grandpa’s Box leading up to Easter. It is the Story of Redemption in storybook form.

Learning about art is fun when you are Looking at Paintings.

These paper birds will look so cute scattered about the house.

~~~

Funny Girl is starting Romeo & Juliet with this free No Fear Shakespeare translation. I put together a folder of work for her from this wonderful site (webquest, vocabulary, literary terms, character map, and study guide).

I am thinking about letting everyone plant a Garden in a Glove.

To Catch a Leprechaun

By: amyswandering2 Comments

catch a leprechaun

Have you ever tried to catch a Leprechaun? They are tricky little things. My kiddos set a trap every year, hoping to catch a glimpse.

The little stinker always manages to escape!

The only thing found in our trap each St. Patrick’s Day is a bit of his gold.

(The gold tastes surprisingly like Rolos!)

But OH the TROUBLE that pesky Leprechaun causes during his visit!!

He turns the milk and the toilet water green, hides things in odd places, and leaves a topsy-turvy mess.

A word of warning … should your Leprechaun decide to write on the toilet lid with a green dry-erase marker … no matter how many different cleaning products you try, it might still be there 2 years later.

Have you ever caught a Leprechaun?
